I have a SRAM 10 speed X7 system on a new Trek 29er that came with a 34/11 cassette. As I only ride on the road in a relatively flat location I really only have wind (that is the atmospheric type!) as an issue. I wanted a tighter spread and installed a 27/12, but can't get oll 10 gears to behave. Usually the 24/27 cogs are a lottery. I also have a 28/11 which kind of works, but not perfectly.
I have adjusted the stops and cable tension as prescribed, but suspected the B adjustment was the issue. It certainly made a difference, but it is now all the way out and I still do not think I have the right gap between the idler and cogs.
My agent tells me that the "road" cassette I am using wont work with the MTB drlr' whatever I do - does anyone know if this is true or know of any other tricks that might get me running?
