SRAM cassette/Shinano shifter and RD incompatibility?
I recently picked up another Bike Friday on eBay. It came with a SRAM
cassette 11-32, SRAM chain and a SRAM rear derailleur and gripshifts. All with less than 100 miles on it. I swapped for Dura Ace index barcons and an XTR rear derailleur I had on another bike. Now the chain doesn't want to stay in the 4th cog from the smallest - it skips and shifts down cluster on either front chainring (56-46). All the other cogs work OK. I've fiddled extensively with the cable tension and always at least one cog doesn't work well. I put on a Shimano cassette 12-27 and the bike shifts perfectly. Hubs are 105. Is the SRAM cassette incompatible with the Shimano shifters or rear derailleur? If not, what suggestions to get the SRAM cassette working properly? Thanks in advance for assistance. Marc Rosenbaum |

Marc Rosenbaum I can't offer much advice, but I don't think it's a derailleur problem. I use SRAM 7 and 9 speed cassettes with Shimano derailleurs and they work well. In both cases I'm using SRAM shifters, though. Can you switch the barcons to friction mode and see if all the gears can be made to work? |
