Hi Guys,

I have an oversised pulley wheel system on my bike and I need to fit a new chain. Some websites suggest to put chain through the system and place the chain on the smallest cog and smallest chainring at the front, apply a bit of tension and cut the chain. The only problem is that Di2 won’t allow me to shift to the smallest cog while being on the smalles chainring, it only allows me to go to the 3rd last cog (13 - number of teeth). Any suggestions?

Thanks

    Put the chain around big/big and add a link. Without going through the mech.

    As that is the lowest gear you can get into, then adjust the chain length to suit that cog combination, as per your description. Just make sure you can fit your finger in the gap between the top jockey wheel and the chain below.
