More crankset stuff...
So I reshuffled a .75 shim to the drive side and removed the .13mm shim and added a .25mm shim to the non drive side this gave me a tiny bit of preload which the bearings liked, much smoother. Total shim pack is now 1.75mm and the crank is now centered in the frame.
Things that I find irritating. Who makes a front derailleur hanger with a flat front. Anyways the fix is a "leveling washer" that can absorb 3 degrees of misalignment, it's a industrial part built like a bicycle brake shoe adjuster only to very tight tolerances, everything holding the derailleur on is titanium. Now in final alignment.
Exciting news, I have tires and tubes but I'm waiting on presta extenders.
The bars are a work in progress but here is a preview. The extension bars are underslung because the cable routing should end up a bit cleaner and keeps that rats nest concentrated below the base bar.
The plan for this evening was to mount the seat and fit the seatpost but as usual ordering new Ritchey clamp parts was required due to taller carbon seat rails... Such is life.
Have A Great Day: Mike
