Very nice - is that the one that used to be on the wall in the Bike Station?

Re:

If you just run a single outer all the way, that works.

Haha, Aero QR position
It does shift. It's top end is decent enough. Thought it'd be too big for me however on tarmac its fine. Front end is a little high despite being slammed.
Compact chainset on this however the cassette is spot on. It can outrun a taxi in town and that's the main thing.
Tempted to run a road block and a short cage mech however if it's not broken don't fix it.
