Hi Folks,

A little advice re tweaking my new road bike. I have sram force gearing and the chain keeps popping off when shifting from big ring to smaller ring.

Is there some sort of adjustment i can try before buying smething like a k-edge chain catcher?

I also have noticed that in some ears at the rear the chain doesnt select the gear accurately and i need to slow my peddaling to get it to catch. Or re select it by going down two then back up again.

Thanks in advance

    sounds like the front lower mech stop screw needs adjustment.

    the rear sounds like cable sterach try adding a click ot 2 of tension to the cable.
