| Thanks for the tips!
I will check that it’s straight.
The cage is rather narrow and perhaps later on I’ll look for a 9-10sp one and if it’s wider, a little less rub. I probably won’t make any other adjustments because it’s only a minor inconvenience. On today’s ride it only happened a handful of times and I just nudged it. The imperfections are what make the whole experience interesting ;-) Jason On Jun 26, 2024, at 11:40 AM, Joe Bernard <joerem...@gmail.com> wrote:
I've never experienced a FD where I never had to trim, even with indexed front shifting. After a while you'll get to know when you're about to have chain rub and will start moving the fd a smidge before you up- or down-shift the rear.

I've been riding my Roadini since February and it has been great, although the FD seems less than ideal. When I'm in the big ring, it works quietly on only the few smallest sprockets. When I'm the small ring, works quietly on the 4-5 largest sprockets. I'm often making minor adjustments to the front DT shifter to line it up so there is no chain rub / noise. I've gotten used to this and it's not really a big deal, but I was thinking there may be something I can do to improve things, and figured this group knows friction!
The shop who built the bike is great, and everything was well done from what I can tell, so my guess is the FD is set up as good as possible, and maybe only a very minor tweak is required. Perhaps it's just the specific parts and how they work together (i.e., not a perfect system).
Before I try and make any adjustments myself I thought I would ask about others' experience with friction shifting, front derailleurs, or perhaps this specific from derailleur. My success rate at fixing drivetrain issues in the past is moderate...though it's not intuitive for me, and I have to watch youtube videos to learn before doing anything.
Other bikes I have/had are index, usually 105/Ultegra/GRX, and the front derailleur wasn't noticeable, it just worked, quietly.
The down tube shifters are Dia-Compe ENE Ciclo 11sp, front derailleur is GRX 810.
Thanks in advance!
