I've been riding an XO type 2 medium cage setup for the past few months. It's mated to a sunrace 40t cassette. Today while heading up the orange switchbacks at Chimney I over shifted too low and wasn't able to shift down to a higher gear. I figured it got hung up on the 40 cog as the tolerances were pretty tight to begin with. So I get off my bike and manually bring the gears down. Jump back on bike and hear a grinding sound, which is never good with anything mechanical. For the next 20 minutes I fiddle with the barrel adjuster and cable but to no avail. It actually is only allowing me to shift on the two highest gears. Any lower and I hear the grinding noise and cannot shift down. Also back pedaling creates a lot of chain slap.
upon closer inspection, it appears to be putting too much tension from the pulleys on to the chain and cassette. This is my first type 2 derailleur and I know there's a lot more tension to begin with. I don't think the lock button has anything to do with it and I'm completely stuck with what to do next. It's a 1x10 setup with oneup oval chain ring if it matters.
