It’s been mention in other threads, but I’m hoping to start a tread specific to the noise people are experiencing with the Force Cassette, and solution that have made the problem better. I just upgraded from a wheel on trainer to a direct drive Saris H3. This means that it is super quite, and the o…

I agree with you Jesse, I was swapping out the cassette between the wheel and the trainer the first week I had the H3, which had about 1000 miles in it. My most used gears, middle of the cassette, had a lot of the black paint removed. On that cassette only the 10, 11, and 12 cogs had this issue, ev…

Yep, the b-limit won’t change from wheel to trainer. But the indexing might change a bit, you may want to try fine tuning that to see if the helps.

New Scott Addict with Force AXS, on the first ride the noise from the rear cassette was awful, put it down to adjustm…

Hi Jesse - did the SRAM rep you talked to mention anything about performance loss associated with the noise?

Taking my bike into the shop next week to have them tune it since I first got it. Can you send me the videos youre talking about so I can send it to them so they have reference material?
