Hi guys, any advice would be appreciated.
I recently installed a Sunrace 10spd wide range cassette (11-40t) on my bike. And along with it a brand new KMC chain. Since then I have been experiencing chain slip while on the largest sprocket (10th), but only while putting loads of power down, like when climbing steep hills. The chain doesn't jump to the next sprocket, it just slips on the that same sprocket until it catches again. On the road/flats it doesn't slip, but I suspect that's because I am not able to put down enough power for it to slip. Does not slip on the second largest sprocket (9th) even if I stand and pedal up the same hills.
I run a 1x10 setup with a 32t NW chain ring up front. XT Shadow+ derailleur (long cage) out back. Hanger seems straight and I have properly setup up my derailleur (upper limit, lower limit and b-screw).
What do you guys think could be the problem? Would pedal bob due to the long travel of the bike cause a change in the chain line or chain tension and cause it slip? I have tried letting all the air out the shock and compressing it to see if the RD still has room to extend and it does have room left.
Left annoyed not being able to use the wide range to conquer them climbs!!
