I guess what I mean is that a using the granny gear gives better leverage, like a 40t x 20t is the same as 38t x 22t, but the 38 x 22 will feel like a lower gear.

It could also be your derailleur hanger. In general, if your shifting works in the first two-three gears but gets whacky elsewhere, then you adjust that whackiness out only to find it moves elsewhere...

11 sp chains

It's been a while, but I seem to remember 11sp Shimano chains are 'unidirectional', the side plates are shaped differently on the drive side. I installed the first few backwards. There'd have to be...

I agree noglider, everybody is a bit different down there, and trying a bunch of different saddles is the best way to go. What has been comfortable for me may or may not be comfortable for the OP,...

Hello from Canada

Ian here, long time listener, first time caller.
I've been a four season bike commuter since 1990, an off and on bike mechanic from 1994-2016. I seem to like older steel bikes with lots of upgrades.
