Patrick: Sheldon has a chain length procedure involving running the chain over the big & big combo but not thru the RD, plus a link or 2. Check it out as it's been a while since I looked.
OTH, if it works, why mess with it? Sure, the RD is going to angled out pretty good in the big & big but it still worked? I'd say "no worries". I've used plenty of chains right out of the box that worked fine. I've done Sheldon's procedure. Honestly can't say I see any difference, and I've got a wide range cassette & triple on the Atlantis. dougP On Oct 19, 2:24 pm, PATRICK MOORE <bertin...@gmail.com> wrote: > I just put a new Sachs P 48 (?
