Right....so I've just found out what you can't use a long arm rear derailleur means on the Tacx Flux!
I've no idea what that meant before and not one of the idiot 5 Halfords staff across two branches said a dicky bird.
Now I know what it means! In the highest gears it hits/scuffs the top cover of the right leg of the Flux.
They should know this stuff so complaint on its way to Halfords. I knew Halfords are not great but I have had pretty much little to no help assisting with what I was trying to achieve. It is also well known it seems and an obvious simple thing to know and point out.
Right from the outside I said to Halfords I want a Tacx Flux and bike with anything I need to go with it. I made sure I bought it all from Halfords and glad I did.
I've bought:
20" Voodoo Marasa Hybrid
Tacx Flux
Shimano 9 speed cassette
Cassette removal tools so freehub socket and chain tool
I've Googled and can see some have got around it by using a longer chain but I'll go back to Halfords to see what they will do about it to solve my problem.
My question is so most/ all Hybrids or MTB's have long arm rear derailleur's? Is it common for these bikes? Or just a low end issue and more expensive bikes won't have this issue?
It is it mainly a Hybrid or MTB issue and road bikes don't have this issue?
What is the point or advantage or disadvantage to long arm or medium/short arm derailleur's?
Thanks all biker helpers in advanced
I've built the bike and attached it to the Tacx Flux no problem btw. Much easier than I was expecting. Especially for someone who has no idea what they are talking about or doing with bikes.
