Everyone with a 1x drivetrain is cross chaining worse than you.

Wonderful story. The photographs really bring it to life. You've posted

This is how I use my 2 bikes with wide/low. The commuter has the big ring
on a triple center with bashguard on outer, the rando is 9 x 2 but the
granny gets used only with the low 4 and only really for steep loaded hills.

Thanks, Pattrick. Fortunately this is a '71 built mostly for track racing,
so the bb is pretty darn high, almost 28cm with the 32-584s. Another way of
saying it is the bb drop is very shallow, only 53mm. That is the shallowest
I've ever had, though I have/had two true 'cross race bikes at 55mm.
Nikko – I'm having the same problem with a set of Silvers I installed
today. Anything improve your shifting?

Installed Silver (v1) shifters on Shimano pods last night/this morning. I
had a problem very similar to what Nikko described above. The lever for the
rear derailleur worked like a dream. But the one operating the front mech
was difficult to use.

Hi Alex,
I am not sure if you have checked the pbh chart at Riv's website.
Based on the pbh chart, it looks like a 53 MIT Atlantis would best fit a 85
cm pbh.
It is perfectly in the middle of the range from 83 to 87 cm pbh.

Hi River,

I think people who are between sizes can typically go either way. I'd call
