So I'm no expert, though I used to be...

...I would like to offer my help as a bicycle mechanic if you need assistance in this regard. Granted there is only so much I can do over the interwebs, I am a BBS certified tech 2 with special training in bike fitting and suspension repair with about 10 years worth of shop experience. I haven't wrenched professionally for about 10 years, but I have 3 bikes and have had 6 at one point and I'm happy to help if you need it. Just throwin it out there to the bikers on here.

I've noticed there are a few more bike people here than there used to be.

A couple of my "bikes". Its what originally got me into welding, way back when.

Thanks dude, I'll be sure to hit you up if I get stumped with anything! I've already done 120 miles on Asuka so she'll probably need a tune up soon!

new cables stretch almost immediately, so there is that to consider. Also, did you do the front derailleur install?

Yeah, I did it. Why?

Well, if its shifting well for you, don't sweat it, but fronts can be tricky, there are angles and distances that will help ensure great shifting, but again...not to worry if its working well.

Well I don't really live in an area where I really have to go down to my low range chainring too much. I can usually get by using my large chainring and the second to lowest gear on the cassette.
