Joel, maybe look into one of those Nitto 4 bolt face plate stems. I believe that the quill is just as long as the Technomic, or Tallux, at 225 cm but the stem comes out at 90 degrees which gives you a few extra cm of height.

[RBW] Re: Front Derailleur Adjustment - Friction DT Shifters

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. Joe Bernard On Tuesday, June 25, 2024 at 6:15:52 PM UTC-7

Re: [RBW] Re: Nitto Technomic Stem

[RBW] Re: Front Derailleur Adjustment - Friction DT Shifters

I agree, it seems likely that your FD is rotated just a wee bit. I'm not familiar with "indexing" FDs, like your GRX 810, but I would expect them to be wider than older friction only FDs, just to accommodate the fact that indexing front shifters can't trim. Either I'm the best home mechanic, or

[RBW] Re: Front Derailleur Adjustment - Friction DT Shifters

“…often making minor adjustments…” kind of goes along with friction shifting, but if it seems excessive, check that the front derailleur cage is absolutely parallel to the big chain ring. It only takes one chain jam to knock it askew. Also that the outer stop of the front derailleur is adjust
