That really helped the shifting between the rings but there is still too much chain rub on the outer plate. The 30 ring is really quiet through all the gears. The 30/34 combination feels like a ridiculously easy gear.....

If I’m in the 30/11 and coasting the RD can’t take up enough of the chain and the chain relaxes on the chain stay. There’s really no reason to be in that combination so that’s not a big deal.
Well it is...until you're on a 15%+ dirt/gravel road ascent where you cannot stand due to losing drive-traction.
