Chain drop pedaling backwards?

[Mathers]

Isn’t this a chain line issue ?

Box has something with their wide range 9 speed.

This will be my next mother load dump after the eagle crashes. Box one prime nine...

I prefer this one

Separately I've evolved into 3 sram drivetrains. All work good, no chain drop on the backpedal. The X1 10-42 11 speed is bulletproof it seems. My GX eagle can get a little cranky and need adjustment and the newer NX has been good so far.

I am going 10 speed 11 is just stupid and with shimano doing 1x10 on deore, it will be cheap cheap

It's the freehub body. Run a lighter oil so it spins better.

Ha. The solution will be expensive. And purple

Yes , garbaruk cassette 46t 11sp pedal backwards all day long no droppy

I actually noticed this happening to me and figured it was wear (friction) in the freehub. No, I have not done anything about it. Other than avoiding backspinning.

I should first see if there’s any oil at all and work from there.
What should I use?

Not that much compared to a new sram cassette. I might try Jim’s low cost idea first doe!

thanks all!

I use T9. If that doesn't work it's because bikes aren't meant to go backwards ?

I had this issue when I had a bad bearing in my freehub. New bearings fixed the problem.

It does go forwards much betterer. I kinda wanna drop it off with you one day and have you go over some stuff. Once you're done saving Summit, that is.

Bike sat for a while, might be gunked up, clean and relube is worth a shot. Tanks.

The clutch does help with backpedal drops, especially if the chain is bobbing hard over undulations. If it seems a bit loose, see if you can pop off a cover and give it a tighten. Some can be tightened even if not advertized as such.

I did a little interneting, the adjustment can be done but you might break it also. Seemed risky!

Oh that's right, once NJ realized no mo' money, suddenly the virus is gone. Got it!

Freehub. Also, Shimano FTW.

In my case I cleaned up the pulleys and the chain drop in reverse is gone.

The pulleys get pretty ganked up fast, chain kinda skips if I don't keep them clean. But pedaling forwards, natch.

Another point against finicky ass SRAM.

I only have Shimano derailleurs, cassettes and chains...

I thought that the SRAM MTB derailleurs with 1:1 actuation generally require less adjustments to maintain decent shifting, compared to Shimano. I only have SRAM on my MTB though, so I have no basis of comparison.
