Hey,

I may cross post in the components forum, but thought this was a good place to start. I have a Neuvation fc100 with SRAM red throughout, all with about 700 miles on it. I've not had any problems with so far, let alone a little cable stretching.

About 10 miles into a 12 miles ride my, on the only significant climb, the rear derailleur started auto downshifting from the largest cog on the cassette. It sounds likes it is in the shifter, as I could push the paddle all the way in and shift up, but if I released the pressure it would make the clicking noise of a down shift. I was cross-chained at this point, so I dropped to the inner chain ring up front, same problem.

When I finished the ride I checked the tension in the cables and did a little adjusting, but the shifter keeps making a click out of the largest cassette cog.

Any ideas? Seems like something may be slipping in the shifter, but I have never opened one up to see the internals to know what.

Ill contact Neuvation too about warranty.

Thanks
Dan

Sounds like you need to adjust the low setting on the RD.

I had similar problems with auto-downshifting on a cross bike w/Force.. but it was from dirty cables. The (low?) setting screw is likely the culprit in your case--take to a bike shop, they should be able to fix it in 5 min.

Di you have an audible click coming from the shifter body when it was downshifting? I am going to pull the hood this evening and check it out as best I can, and give the rear d screws a check and cable tension. I would be psyched if that was all, as a warranty sounds like a bit of a pain and I would be without a bike for a bit!

No.. if yours is actually clicking that sounds a lot like a warranty issue. :/
