Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure peak performance, follow these guidelines:

  2. B-Gap Adjustment: Use the proper SRAM B-Gap tool to set the distance between the top pulley and the cassette. This is critical for 10-52t compatibility.

  4. Maintenance: Regularly clean the pulley wheels to prevent debris buildup and lubricate the cage pivot to keep the derailleur movement smooth.
