Just checking in to see if anyone else has had this issue. I am using XT cassette in the back and an XT front der. with Sram X.0 rear der. I also have a bash guard and no big chainring, so this is all from the middle chainring. When I am in the middle chainring and the 1st cog the chain rattles slightly against the der. On the top end the chain rubs on the other side of the der. in 7,8, and 9. 7 has to be really loaded and 8 is pretty constant and 9 is just plain bad. It seems like the XT der. is not wide enough. We have maxed out the limiting screws. Tried it with and without a spacer. My mechanic says there is really only one shimano der. option on this bike. Anyone have any other hints or tips? I have not heard this mentioned here before? He called Intense and they simply said to try the spacer. It doesn't seem like asking too much to be able to use all the cogs from the middle chainring?
