Looking for input from anyone with a 2019/2020 Checkpoint ALR 5 (with Shimano 105/ R7000 front derailleur).

***Are you able to use the entirety of both the high/low ends of the cassette without front derailleur noise when appropriately matched and not cross-chaining (ie: BIG ring/ SMALLEST cogs or SMALL ring/ BIGGEST cogs)?

You can see my tech-related post for more details: https://forum.bikeradar.com/discussion/13109170/shimano-105-fd-r7000-fr-derailleur-tuning-conundrum#latest

    There is nothing special about the frame that would make it any different to any other.

    So the answer is yes you can.

    Why start a new thread, linking to the original so we could get the details makes it clear it shouldn't be a new one really.
