I am having issues with my new Sram X9 type 2 derailleur (medium cage), had my first ride with it last night and the clutch seems to get stuck and causes the chain to go loose and fall off the chain ring. If I push on the arm it springs back and the chain re-tensions and all is well again.
It did this about 3-4x but was intermittent (would happen a couple times in a row and then not happen again for a few miles, repeat). It seems to happen when I am in a low gear then start shifting into a higher gear, the arm doesn't move back with the shift. It is brand new and not sure what would be causing it.
Anyone have a similar issue? or a possible fix? wondering if its a lubrication issue from Sram? I will probably call them, but I am always hoping to just do my own fix so I have limited down time.
When working the arm in my hand it doesn't feel like anything is binding it up.
Thanks for any help or insights.
