are you sure the grinding is coming from the rear mech?
what gears is it grinding in... the extreme small/small large/large etc?
one mistake I always make when adjusting the rear mech is that I put too much tension on the barrell adjuster on the mech.
have a look at this and see if it helps.

I bought this dvd http://www.drivenandridden.com/Road_bike_set_up_and_maintenance_DVD.html
well worth 12.99, very informative.0 -
I notice that the guy in the video screws the cable adjuster screw all the way in before connecting the cable. I seem to remember that Park recommends unscrewing the adjuster two and a half turns before attaching the cable. This would provide adjustment in both directions.0
