I've had this nose for quite a while. It seems to happen when I don't double click the shifter. A single click will move the chain but it will make this noise until I hold down the shifter lever for a few seconds. I've been wanting to change the shifter but have had a hard time finding an XT 10s.

    I assume that either your cable tension is low or your drive train is worn. Do you know how to use a barrel adjuster?

  2. Is it a 1x drivetrain? Sounds like the chain is rubbing slightly against the cassette(slight turn of the barrel adjustment might fix it)

  3. Tightening the cable with the connector has definitely led to smoother shifting. I haven’t noticed the noise yet either. I’ll go for a ride soon. Thanks for your help?
