Thanks for all of your replies. Yes, my chain looks like the one in the picture. And, it rubs on that tab. When reading about the m772 derailleur, I gathered that the tab was added to prevent the...

Chain rubbing on rear derailleur cage tab

I'm using a 9spd XT mid-cage rear derailleur (m772) with 10 speed Ultegra STI brifters (6600) so I can run a 10spd XT 11-32 cassette. I installed a new KMC 10.93 chain and the cassette is new as...

Ah, I should have mentioned this. I'm running an Ultegra 6750 compact double (50/34) crankset.

Thanks for all of your thoughts. I've only tried the shifting in the stand, but the chain seems to wrap fine in the smaller cogs. I am going to try fitting a new chain, sized large-large + 2 links,...

Surprisingly, an 11-32 10spd cassette worked with a short-cage Ultegra RD

I have a 2008 Fuji Roubaix RC with 10 speed Ultegra shifters and short-cage rear derailleur (both 6600). I wanted to try an 11-32, so I got an XT cassette and grabbed a 9 speed XT RD from my parts...

Ah, good to know. The BB is the stock one from Wabi: "TH BB-7420ST 68/103 sealed." Here's another thing. The crankset is labeled Andel RSC1. Is this the same as the standard track crankset from...

Ah, I see. Thanks. I will give that a shot. I just re-installed the cranks and re-measured chainline, and I came up with 40.2--too inboard. I assume the culprit is the NDS cup being too far out.

Thanks for the input. I feel a little silly now: I re-measured my rear chainline, and I got 43.2. I think the digital caliper's batteries were dying and I looked at the mechanical measure which was...

Bottom bracket spindle length and front/rear chainline

I have a chainline question on a stock Wabi Classic. I can't seem to get rid of the chain noise, so I got a digital caliper, measured my front, and came up with 42.9 mm. I measured the rear and came...

from silent to noisy

Hi all,

About two months ago, I replaced the worn stock Yaban chain on my Wabi with an almost new KMC 8.93 I had in the parts bin. Since then (maybe 200 miles of riding), I've heard a lot more...

Rear derailleur noise after getting hanger straightened at shop

Hi all,

I had been hearing a lot of noise from the rear derailleur (a 2008 Fuji Roubaix RC). The sound is like a ticking that increases with the speed I pedal. I adjusted cable tension and checked...

A surprising difference in chain noise

Hi all,

After installing a new KMC 8.93 chain on a Wabi classic (about 2000 miles on the chainring and fixed cog), I was surprised by how much noise I heard. I tried more slack and less slack in...

hairnet, how tall are you and what size are you looking for? I ask because I'm 6' 4", my geared road bike is a 64cm (605mm TT, 100mm stem), and Wabi's 61 (580mm TT) fits me well with a 120mm stem....

I've probably ridden about 2000 miles. I wipe and lube the chain with ProGold about as often as Onfixiate. I don't know if this would be a factor, but my rides (in Reno) tend to be about an hour of...

On my geared bikes (9 and 10 speed), I change chains once the .75 indicator fits into the chain. Here's the tool I use:

2008 64cm Fuji Roubaix RC

My LBS had 3 of these in stock and wants to sell them. I bought one for $1400 (about 500 off MSRP) and am enjoying it. I assume they'd sell the remaining bikes for the same price. Google...
