I just installed a Connex link to join a KMC X9 chain and I’m noticing that whenever the link goes through the derailleur hanger, it causes it to move a bit, which causes rhythmic noise. Anyone using Connex noticing this? Is it normal?

    Yeah, I think 9 speed chains in general are unique. The problem child of the cassette word. LOL

    I’d be interested in an update.

      Now you’re telling me about this? …

      I’ve been riding 10s/11s since 2010-ish. I have no recollection of 9s. Would be big mad if it can’t get smooth given I paid for a 9s XT shifter. 😄

        I only heard that, but don’t have experience with 9s chains or cassettes. LOL Mine are either 7/8 speed or 11. LOL
