I was able to adjust the FD and now it shifts perfectly. For the record there were two issues at play here.
1. The FD was not adjust correctly. It wasn't even close...I have no idea why it was this far out of whack. 2. The shifters needed to be tightened. The second issue is apparently very common and as noted it will need to be re-tightened from time to time. RIvendell said they have though about including info that it would most likely need to be done and I have since told them that is a very good idea. I actually question why, if they know it's a common issue, they would still only be "thinking" about including this info. The first issue is actually what caused my chain suck. The worst part is that because it was not done right and because it caused chain suck the paint on my chainstay is severely messed up. I am not someone who babies their bikes and wear is OK but when you get the paint destroyed on a $2500 bike within the first 2-5 miles because of an assembly error it puts a sour taste in your mouth. I let them know that I was displeased but never heard anything back even as far as an apology. When buying a Rivendell you agree to pay a premium for alot of parts as well and part of all of that is you expect pretty much the best the whole way down the line. Things happen and I won't dwell on it but I did want to let people know that even though it is coming from Riv please do a full checkup of every part before taking it out. Their assembly after shipping video does not mention anything past putting it together and while that may be OK for most people in my case I would have saved some heartache had I know to check out all the shifting as well. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
