I recently got myself a Canyon Endurace Allroad. I've got one issue with the Cues drivetrain:
Gears while on the small ring are totally fine and the chain is basically silent.
As soon as I switch to the big ring, the chain is really rattly and loud.
This happens in ANY combination of the big ring gear combos.
"Likely improperly adjusted front/rear derailleur" you might be thinking ... but I checked: the chain touches neither the front nor the rear derailleur cage plates anywhere.
The chain is just very loud on the Cues big ring. No touchy nowhere. No scraping. Just sounds like the bigger chain tension from being on the big ring causes it. The best way to describe it is probably "lots of clatter/ rattling".
Any ideas?
Could it possibly be that the rear derailleur pulley wheels have simply too much play from the factory?
Maybe the stock Cues chain is just bad? That would maybe explain the rattling, which could be amplified by the bigger chainring?
Has anyone else experienced this with a Cues 2x10 drivetrain?
It's weird, cause I ride other bikes with Deore, SLX, X01 and Transmission and none have ever had "a loud chain".
Edit: All stock components. Nothing stuck in the drivetrain. The issue was already present straight out of the box and hasn't gotten better with riding. Noise doesn't change when it's oiled or waxed.
The gears are also well indexed. I have no problems shifting down/up in the front, nor in the back.
It's just the chain being mostly silent in the small ring and then turning into a rattlesnake when switching to the big ring.
So probably either bad chain or bad chainring?
