Troubleshooting

Shifting is slow or unresponsive.

Check and adjust the rear derailleur indexing. Ensure the chain is clean and lubricated. Inspect the cable tension and adjust if necessary.

Chain skips or jumps between gears.

Check for chain wear and replace if necessary. Inspect the cassette teeth for damage and replace the cassette if needed. Adjust the rear derailleur limit screws.

Cassette lockring is loose.

Tighten the cassette lockring to the recommended torque specification using a torque wrench. If the lockring repeatedly loosens, consider replacing it.
