Hello all,
I have a sram force group set and my 12 speed cassette is noisy as hell. I know this is a know solution. I can’t get it to quiet down and neither can my mechanic.
The cassette is the kind that is all silver with the largest cog being black.
From what I can tell there are a few attempts at a solution.
1) i could buy a red cassette but I would like to avoid dropping 350 on a cassette
2) buy a 30 buck secret elastomer kit for all cogs. My cassette has 3 elastomer installed in between the smallest cogs. Does adding elastomers in between every cog make that much of a difference?
3) for 70 bucks I could buy a 105 cassette (or ultegra) for my sram axs group set. Heard mixed opinions on if this would work or not. I have a shimano free hub body so I can throw it on.
Do you all have any strong opinions or have solution emerged that I just haven’t found yet?
Edit: the shifting is fine it is just the noise as it passing thru cassette and to a degree pulley wheel. Fully wireless group set was really my only choice for this frame.
It sounds louder than this https://youtu.be/WTf_YQ5px6U but is generally same noise.
Thanks! appreciate it!

What kind of noise? Does it affect the shifting?
i usually joke that running SRAM is like driving an ultra light car that shifts like a mack truck.
is it just shifting noise or just the metal on metal chain running through the cassette and derailleur.
Can you record the noise?
Wrong chain length can also cause excessive noise. Not sure if you’ve checked that.
I recently put force axs on my supersix, did you put an xdr hub on rear wheel as I had to swap my shimano hub out for the sram one.
