Thanks for the tips. I'll lean my tendency to procrastinate against my

The first gen Sams had cantilevers. Mine was Riv's floor model and came
with very wonderful IRD wide profile cantis; nicer in action and not far
behind in appearance compared to the much more expensive Pauls on my 2020

My experience agrees with Garth's.

11 speed chain
