Prep fast bike ready for meeting an old mate tomorrow, then over to parents to show eldest rug rat his first car 😳 and borrow my old chaps pinno style car
Out with MIL for her birthday dinner than drop her off and out with friends in the old home town, should be good
Off for popcorn and James Bond this afternoon.
Bloody wet here. Supposed to dry up later and maybe i'll get to squeeze a pedal in.
Fitted crud catchers to the C40. I did. Carefully.
Are we now officially in the post Hoppy era?
That bloody Stevo, he's a lot to answer for.
Misty here, will take the dogs out after brekkie then onwards with house move related stuff.
Bicycle tinkering tinkered - Campag is just so much nicer made than Shimano, everything from the barrel adjust screws to the B screws to the shifters to the whole lot. Just so much nicer - why people put up with Shimano plastic tat and still rave about it I just don't know.
Anyhow, sunny but cold here, about to walk Hound with crook TDV then Zwift, maybe quick weights sesh, then Paris Roubaix from last weekend, some more tinkering...... and vino.
Turns out antivaxer relative is also a test refusenik. Kids are in a schools hotbed of covid, I refuse the vaccine, but no I won't allow any lateral flow tests to reduce the risk to others I invite to visit the house. Selfish self centred or what?
Whatevs. Bring on some sunshine.
adjust B screw makes no difference.
perfect everywhere else....
waddya say?
Check you haven't mixed up the upper and lower jockey wheel - upper has (needs) play, lower doesn't.
B screw - set clearance too big to start with, adjust towards cassette.
Is the B screw actually moving the mech? Or is it threaded?
There was also a boat crash on the motorway that held us up for 15 mins...

jockey wheels all cool - double checked that!
B screw is rotating the height adjyster thing in the mech - have had lunch and will give another go now.
Traditional slow start was enjoyed, EPO sent me into the loft to fetch winter clothes. Should be warmer for a few days now SG. About to head over to Wombledon to see the old dear and check on friend's daughter with baby. Hopefully she's more settled now we've got her away from the abusive boyfriend.
Marin Nail Trail
Cotic Solaris
not seen many leaves falling so far
Problem solved.
Took chain off
Took mech off
Swore at it and told The Imps that I would find them and I'd get the thwacker out
Put it all back together
Works perfect
No fricking idea at all what/why/how
But grazie again to all - v much appreciated
Now for coffee, protein shake and slumber before Il Lombardia and weights.
chainline might be too far out, the wider the angle the more likely the chain will come off, angle increases with shorter chainstays
tbh not enough info
did it ever work with a 29? are the crankset+chainring designed for x1? or are you improvising with x2 parts?
with x2 the fd cage helps prevent the chain coming off, with no cage it's free to drop, worse case you could fit an x1 chain catcher to prevent it dropping
