Hi all,

I'm in the process of building up my new R5 vwd frame (yes I know...another one!) and I've just picked up a Rotor crank set and have some Q Rings in the post. I notice that rotor sell small blocks to outset front mech's to work with the oval cranks - are these necessary or can I save myself £25?

Any experience appreciated.

    It all depends on where your mech hanger is positioned on your frame. One frame I have its not a problem and the other I just pop in a couple of formed washers between the mech and the hanger which helps tilt the mech a little bit. I find the spacers angle it too much resulting in the underside if the mech cage coming into contact with the chain.

    didn't fit anything to my frame. didn't even think about it. I just fit the cranks and lined the mech up

    I have a dura ace 7900 front mech and you can adjust it just about any way necessary
