Its fitted with full ultegra 6800 (still awaiting the pedals) took it out on a 60k maiden at the weekend and very happy apart from I need to swap my short cage rear derailleur for a medium one, as when I am on the the big ring on the front crank when shifting up..or is it down ? to the 2 biggest rings on the rear cassette it rubs on the front derailleur the guy who built it for me reckons I need a medium cage ?
crank is 50/34 and rear cassette is 11/28

Or this is possibly just derraileur adjustment issues.
And did you ask yourself why do you want to have a big-big shifting combo?
Oh, if not adjustment problem, Di2 will fix the front trimming for you

i am quite new to all this, But I do remember my dad telling me years ago that its bad to cross chain, but i thought it was just a urban myth
So maybe ill tweak the front derailleur and go from there, that way it will save me a few $'s and try not to cross chain.
Thanks PommieYeti

I wouldn't stress on the Rules too much, they ignore practicality for anyone who might want to ride further than 40kms to the coffee shop

I've had the bars dropped (rotated downwards) in the stem today as well, after test riding another bike where the hoods were more horizontal than vertical and my hands felt more comfortable in the drops I wonder if this will make a difference.
My commute home will tell me.

I'll assume you ride with compact bars and have no experience using/ installing any other kinds of drop bars?Xplora wrote:Rule 46 violation clearly on the bars
Bar angle is dictated by the angle of the drops because that is where you actually hold the bar. The tops remain constant whatever the rotation and the hoods can be moved wherever and are therefore independent on bar rotation. As such the Angle of the top part of the bar should play a very little role in proper handlebars rotation. E.g. Same bars as above on random bike found on internet http://cdn.mos.bikeradar.com/images/bik ... 670-80.jpg" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

HS, I didn't write the Rules... and certainly not Rule 1, 2 and 3, which eliminate any excuse for transgressionHomo Suburbiensis wrote:I'll assume you ride with compact bars and have no experience using/ installing any other kinds of drop bars?Xplora wrote:Rule 46 violation clearly on the bars

A downgrade (ride characteristics imho) from my previous steed, but happy non the less as this will function more than what my previous steed will.
