I have just installed a new cassette, chain, and shift cable after the cheapo sunrace cassette that came on my bike (FS 27.5) recently snapped in half. Two sections were connected by a plastic spider so it was a design flaw not my massive quads that caused the issue. But all the same it left me with a long walk out of the woods. (photo attached)
I can't find a cable tension that will allow me to shift to BOTH the largest and smallest cog. If it's tight enough to reach the low gear it won't go to the high gear and vice versa. The hanger was bent some and I've used an alignment tool to get it back to within tolerance. I have unscrewed both limit screws to where they aren't touching so it's not that.
Anyone ever have this issue? Is the derailleur just toast? Did I miss something installing the cable? So frustrating.
