Pull ratio issue, since Microshift uses it's own pull ratios for the Advent/AdventX series, and SRAM shifters don't play well with others, anyway........ coupled with a Chaincage that's WAY too high in the back... yep.. needs a different Der., and/or the stock SRAM Apex back on, and a reverser pulley (best choice).
this came about because a frame builder re-routed the Ft. der. cable along the top tube, and a shop got too creative......
Probably. Though, based on the picture(s), I'm not sure if the cage is also too high.
If that is the case, it's worth setting it correctly, and then testing if the shifting will be acceptably good (or acceptably bad
) for the rider.
