Rear indexing trouble - Help please!!

LukeDanckert

Hi there, I have a rear indexing problem with one set of wheels and wonder if anybody has any advice or knowledge that could help.

I have just had all new chains and cassettes on my 3 bikes ready for the new season. All 3 work perfectly with every different combination of wheelset, apart from my Campag Zonda wheels. I was hoping to take these on my summer bike to Lanzarote in early Jan, but for some reason the rear gear indexing is out. I have tried them on my other bikes and also inter-changing cassettes to see of that was the problem. I've still had no joy.

I think that it's no coincidence that the Zonda wheelset are 11 speed, with the remainder of my wheels being 10 speed. I am using the spacer provided with the wheels so I really don't know what the issue could be??

Any help on this would be really appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

You will have indexing issue as you have moved the cassette across the freehub body. Adjust to your limit screws and make a cable adjustment. Sorted ;-)

Shelton,

I still want the wheels to be interchangeable with my others without any limit screw adjustment.

Buy 3 nice new 11 speed groupsets and matching wheels to go with your bikes then... Good deals on Ribble at the moment!

I don't have that problem as I only have 1 set of wheels and they come on my bike :-) you could try a slightly wider spacer but that will really be trial and error.

Ensure the jockey wheels are not a 3rd party item?

I have had a not dissimilar issue and it came down to these two wheels not being Shimano. As simple as that and boy! did we go around the houses to tweak, re-tweak and then some on the rear Mech and cable'. Three bike shops later and Lo! - problem solved. Because his shop sold 3rd party jockey wheels - well, they did until he realised they were a false economy with Shimano running gear.
