I find myself, too adjusting out chain noise on the FD from time to time,
so this morning I ran a test. Not sure if it was OCD or a desire to avoid
obsessing over FD adjustment, but on a climb where I needed my
next-to-largest cog, I dialed the FD to noise on the inside of the cage,
then just
Bill, your suggestion of splaying open the cage was the first thing I tried,
but not wanting to damage the dérailleur, I didn't bent the cage too much. I
probably have gone further with it, but raising the dérailleur did the trick.
Took the bike out for a longish ride this morning and no negat
You point out correctly that the CX70 cage is narrow up top and wider down
low. The right question to ask is why? The reason is front index shifters
(brifters). They click into position, and have a little trim mini-click.
The derailer has to be precise, because the shifter positions are limi
good point - I'm lucky on my XD triple-turned-compact crank - the big ring
is flat, and it's the chain guard that is skewed.

Curious, I'm running a 9-speed and get all the way through them without
adjusting my CX-70. I use the penny - clearing a penny all the way around
between the large ring and derailleur cage. .

On my Atlantis with a 44 tooth big ring there is at least 1/4" between the
outer cage and the top of the chainring teeth. The Deore FD has minimal
clearance with the lower stay. It shifts fine with a 34 tooth middle
ringe. Like you, I used to obsess over that 1-2 mm clearance. Doesn't
