I have just fitted a new chin and I am certain I have done it right. The gears are shifting smoothly.

However when I shift into small-small combination my chain has soo much slack in it. I s this normal?

    1. you should never use that combo.
    2. you did size the chain? Big cog big cog without the mech and add one full link (1").

    or did you just fit the chain at the supplied length!

    1. I know, it was just in the garage I noticed this happening.

    2. Yes, Big-Big without mech. Added one link + SRAM power link as stated in instructions.

    Nick, is there any chain growth with the Specialized FSR system?
