Michael: I can't answer your question but it does raise one on my part. I have the Rivendell standard issue triple crank (XD2?) and have often been bothered by chain suck on the middle-to-granny shift. Careful, well planned shifts work fine. It's the panicky, sloppy ones where I don't ease up enough on the pedals that create the problem.
Does simply adding some shims at the middle ring solve this? If so, what thickness? My crank did not come with shims so I never thought about them. dougP On Saturday, March 2, 2013 4:14:30 AM UTC-8, Michael Hechmer wrote: > > I am in the process of rebuilding a RD2 crankset and discovered, actually > remembered, that it needs a shim between the middle ring and spider to > prevent chain suck when shifting to the inside ring.
