Etap help

[Dan Le foot]

Hi Gang.
When I free wheel the RD cage moves forward loosening the chain. (Shifting up the cassette?) When I start to pedal it goes back to the normal position. RD battery is charged. Cleaned and lubed chain and rollers. Even changed wheels to make sure it wasn’t a free hub problem.
Any ideas on what’s going on?

Have you checked the gear hanger?

Be tension screw. Those things are sensitive.

Make sure the pulleys are not gakked up

I second the der hanger. Make sure it's fully threaded in, both the hanger, and the mech and the B tension bolt and clip/spring are in the right position.

Draggy freehub body. If you pedal with bike in stand and let go, does rear wheel drive crankset?

Yes!

That’s what it was, OP. I thought that may be the case so I put on a different wheel and got a similiar issue. I figured I couldn’t have a freehub problem on both wheels so I took it to the LBS. They serviced The Hed wheel. I serviced the Swiss DT 240. All is well now.
Thanks.
