I am having a litany of issues getting my SRAM Red 10 speed to shift sweetly after switching from 53/39 11-28 to 52/36 11/28.
Other things that haven't changed - standard pulleys, q rings, i links.
Cassette is brand new, chain brand new. Just checked hanger with DAG-2 - dead straight
The issue is with shifting in the small ring towards the lower half of the sprockets when shifting to a harder gear. It can stutter or jump out of gear. I never had this issue before.
Now I have altered the chain length - it currently doesn't like 52x28 (sounds high drag but will run) but i don't think i can shorten it further without risking the derailleur going into the wheel if i accidentally cross chain.
Now, would it be possible to switch my cage to a sram force mid cage to get extra chain wrap and fix this problem (if lack of wrap is the cause) Just swapping the cage. I know the geometry of the upper pivot is different on a midcage, i am not looking to run a 32, just my 28 and midcompact smoothly.
Anything else to try?
Out cage swap - mid cage, short cage
