Unfortunately, the saddle, the derailleur and brake levers have black carbon. |
On the front derailleur shifter, the indexing cog appears to be exposed by design underneath the brake lever handle. |
I can't seem to adjust the front derailleur to the point that I can eliminate chain rub in all gear combinations. |
My current setup has 53x39 chainrings, a 12x25 cogset with a short cage rear derailleur, and I recently switched to a Wipperman 10-speed chain. |
As for adjusting for cable stretch, as the cable stretches, the derailleur will move to larger cogs faster and slower to smaller cogs. |
If the chain is too long, the derailleur will rotate inward too far and bounce the upper jockey wheel through the chain on the largest cogs. |
