Hi guys,

just got a new bike with eagle and wonder if you can somehow tighten the clutch to reduce chain slap...

Thx

No , all SRAM 11 and 12 speed derailleur have non adjustable/serviceable clutches. Maybe try shortening your chain or add some 3m rubber tape to your frame.

If Eagle works the same as the 11spd stuff: Pull the plastic cap off, use a torx key to give the bolt a wobble, use a pair of flushcuts to pull the pin out, you now have an adjustable clutch mech.

IIRC the pin and cap is due to a shimano patent on adjustable clutch mechs.

As stated above, I don't believe that the spring tension on SRAM Eagle is designed to be adjustable.

I run my Eagle drivetrain with a front chain guide and it helps to keep extra tension on the chain and prevents chain slap along with the knowledge that I won't loose my chain.

Thanks for reply guys.
I tried to pull of the cap, but there is nothing to adjust and no pin, so it probably really isn't adjustable.

I think this works only for the type 2.0, but not for the to type 2.1 clutch

Done it on both 2.0 & 2.1 mechs.
