Has anyone flown with a bike that uses a type derailleur? If so what did you do with the derailuer?
On previous bikes that has regular derailleur attached to a hanger, I'd just unbolt the hanger to stop the bike frame from putting pressure on the derailuer and damaging it when the bike was in transit in a bike bag/box.
But with t type, unmounting and remounting the mech looks like it would involve going through the whole calibration/setup process again.
Is t type tough enough to leave bolted on the frame? Or is there something I'm missing here
The setup process takes about 2 minutes…
I took mine off for a flight. It was a bit of a pain to put back on correctly so watch a vid. It does need 35Nm otherwise it slips but everything else is simple. I assumed set up was super simple, it is but there are steps.
Correct gear, set up position, tight chain 35Nm. Done.
Thanks all - might try marking the position somehow to save the faff.
