My x9 rear D has developed an extremely active spring return. This basically means that when any compression occurs it returns like a bat out of hell and sounds extremely rattly. Any ideas?
Your lucky.... I've had to send 2 X-9 rear mechs back as there because of an un-active spring
well my first one was missing the stopper so it just span round!
Second you being lucky... the spring in my last one went after 5 rides. Is there nowhere you could pad it out with some v. soft foam to dampen the noise?
Thirded 😉
fourthed. I've a dead one here too
hmmm. I will have to pad it out. Its ruining my buzz, dude.
where can you buy these over-active springs?
It didn't come like it...I don't like it.
my guess is that yr spring is as knackered as theirs (^) and the rattle is failure to return prioperly & leaving chain loose
nah...its returning so quick is bouncing on impact. Need to add a 'rebound' feature.
+1 for sloth like spring.
Can I buy a replacement main spring or do you have to get a new rear mech??
Get some foam in there, you'll look like Sam Hill too 🙂 Or I'll swap you with mine, it works fine as long as you're in big-big.
will wear some pink and grow my eyebrows to match 😉
