One thing i would say, you've specced a standard chainset. Are you living in a flat area, or hilly? If the latter, then maybe a 34/51 (compact) would be better than a 39/52 (standard)0

Also gone for the medium rear mech rather than the short?I'm sorry you don't believe in miracles0 -
Hi thanks i live in the fens so quite flat the reason i asked for help is that ive never had a road bike allways mtb so thanks as for rear mech would the short be better as it has a max of 28 and the medium 320

It's generally best to have the shortest mech your other drivechain components allow, so in your case I'd go short. It'll look neater and in theory the shifting should be marginally crisper.0
