Troubleshooting
Derailleur does not shift
Ensure the battery is installed correctly and fully charged. Check that the derailleur is properly paired with the shifter and that there are no obstructions or damage to the derailleur or cage.
Inconsistent or slow shifting
Verify that the derailleur's limit screws and B-gap are set correctly according to SRAM specifications. Check the chain for wear and ensure it is properly lubricated. Ensure the AXS system is updated.
Chain drops off cassette
Re-adjust the derailleur's limit screws to ensure it stays within the cassette's range. Check that the derailleur hanger is straight and not bent.
