Thanks dude

I'd not put enough gt85 on the cables

Now it's all good to go :-) ( once the brake cable arrives if course )

There's no cable in it :/ Adjust the high/low limit screws, then put the cable in it. Then adjust the indexing.

I'd posted thar after putting the cable in and adjusting the limit screws

Get out on it, use your feet to stop bmx style

Then your cable tension wasn't high enough.

Indeed , because , as I said, there wasn't enough lube on the cables , now there is, it's sorted

Right

Rear mech now 100% indexed ( chuffed with myself tbh)

Tips for the front ? ( hate these more tbh)

Thanks

I'm
Pretty sure the angle/height isn't right

Will deal with it tomorrow as I've just indexed my SRAM bike

The mech cage should sit 2-3mm above the large sprocket. Adjusting the High and low on fronts is relatively simple - you just want it so low (i.e. small chainring) is enough to stop chain rattle on the largest rear sprocket, and the same with the high (big chainring) - stops rattle on the smallest sprocket. Workshop (home) settings you first need to ensure it shifts without dropping the chain.

Then road test it and take a suitable screwdriver with you to make fine adjustments.

ROAD TEST AFTER YOU HAVE FITTED THE BRAKE CABLES !

Last night and your comments have lit a light-bulb over my head

I struggle so much with front mechs as I always always forget the limit screws

I need to double check the cable goes the correct way into the front mech tho

But as my brake cable still isn't here - I'm taking the night off fettling and will resume tomorrow evening

Thanks again dude
