lazy day... just aligned the RD, cut and ran the derailleur cables, and measured the chain on project
#2 . next task, cut/join the chain and tweak the derailleurs. i am trying one of those chain catchers on this one and it is messing with my routine. normally i get the FD all lined up before i put on the chain. the chain catcher requires the chain to be on before you align it. i guess old dogs can learn new tricks...
