WoooooHooooo!! The derailleur hanger alignment tool arrived today. I set straight off to see if I could make the 700 M-T shift more reliably. I found that the derailleur was misaligned such that there was a 1" (25.4mm) gap at the 12 o'clock position when indexed at the 6 o'clock position. It took me three or four tries to get the alignment almost perfect wherever I tested it on the wheel. I readjusted the derailleurs and the bike is shifting perfect!! Not one skipped cog through about a hundred or so shifts! Now to readjust the handlebars, throw on some handlebar tape and I'm done. I think I may hit the trails tomorrow before it gets too hot.
