FD installation with Biopace chainrings
Is there anything special with installing a FD with Biopace chainrings? Just the usual "penny" clearance for the large chainring (at the maximum radius, of course)?
This is the first set of Biopace chainrings I've had and I at least want to give myself a fighting chance to see how well they work (or don't). They were factory installed on the bike when I bought it.
Thanks in advance.

I have never had to do anything special with the derailleur when using Biopace rings other than set the height as the OP mentions.
