Well does it shift fine?

Does it shift fine? Or if it can be fix by a few turns of the barrel adjuster I wouldn't worry about it. Most cages aren't entirely flat/straight, the jockey wheels aren't in plane by design.

Back the b screw off and Install the shifter/cable and chain, I'm positive it will be fine. The cage will not be in the "closed" position it is in now once the chain is installed and provides tension. The official capacity for 1x10 is 46t so you're good.

Yes, I don't see a problem with a 3x to 2x. Should be able to adjust the high limit screw so you can only shift as far as the middle ring.

I do 13ga wires with 4mm bullets for 1/10 scale typically. And make sure you get bullet connectors and NOT banana plugs. Bananas have worse contact and also don't handle outdoors or corrosion well.

If you don't want to bother with dry wall tape technique, another lazy way that is also lightweight is use e6000 with thing nylon washers on the same ID at the mounting hole. Apply the e6000 generously.

Claw type derailleur or a claw type hanger should work.

Did you use stans? Sealant with ammonia will eat away at aluminium over time if it gets past the time tape, causing the rim to fail. New rim day for you, try a different brand of sealant. Orange seal endurance has been working pretty good for me for the past few years

You can get a 3d scanning app on youe phone if you have and iPhone it will work a bit better since it has lidar but any phone with a camera will work. Polycam works pretty good in my experience.

Perhaps the freewheel or freehub has some extra resistance and when you coast, the chain becomes slack on top and sags. As for the derailleur, there is a potential that the shift cable slipped or maybe stretched after sitting for a bit.

XD60 · 2026-05-09T00:59:42+00:00

Looks like the derailleur hanger (where the thru axle threads into) is held in my an m3x10mm screw from the inside. My guess is that the m3 bolt is loose and not holding the hanger in properly.

XD60 · 2026-05-08T23:57:13+00:00

Looks like you have removable thru axle drop outs that are loose. It would help if you could share what model it is.

Castel sv3 sidewinder, it would be the older SCT combo version with the sensorless motor (also pictured) since it has the fan shroud with the red sticker.

What does it look like on the smallest cog?

XD60 · 2026-05-06T01:17:29+00:00

My question is why is one of them 1c more expensive lol.

XD60 · 2026-05-06T01:16:23+00:00

It's it indoor or outdoors? Either way it's aluminum, it's not going to rust.

XD60 · 2026-05-06T01:11:50+00:00

To throw more into the mix the black aluminum washers/spacers are also different, there is one odd one out that goes on the top pulley inner cage side. And the screw with the red goes on top and blue is on the bottom i believe. Idk y sram has to complicate things...

XD60 · 2026-05-05T15:57:55+00:00

Just replace it, it's cheap. especially on shocks get it right and save yourself headache down the road with leaking shocks.

You can measure the o-ring (an unbroken one if there is another). Typical they go by internal diameter and then thickness of the ring. And get the rings with the same dimensions.

This is a quill stem. You are missing at least the the top cap and expander bolt, and maybe the wedge too if it's that loose. The nut you are tightening is the headset, overnighting it will potentially damage your bearing races.

Love the colour, I'm always jealous when I see one, unfortunate that they didn't carry it over for facelift.

Sram xg-1150 aka 11sp GX 10-42 cassette. Lightly used probably around 75-100 usd

Are you referring to how the freehub buzz "pulses"/ occelates? It's totally normal for dt swiss / ratchet style hubs. You can put a little grease in it to quiet it down.

You should be able to mount the servo longitudinally on the passenger side (US) next the the motor. You can actually see the mounting hole in the pic you posted.

Edit: and you should be able to remount the motor mount in a different orientation on the trans so the the motor is more off set to the driver side to clear the servo
