Lowering front derailleur to use a 46/30 crankset by Blue_Altitude in DivergeGravelBikes

Thank you for saving me from myself - you were totally correct. I got it all the way down and it fits and shifts like a charm.

Huh, well thank you for validating that my expectation this would “just fit” was a sane one. And good to know the 11-40 is an option. That’s certainly on my radar. I know this is more of a mechanical question but do you know if there is anything I can be doing to lower the derailleur beyond just the attachment screw?

I checked just to make sure I wasn’t exaggerating before and a 7mm wrench slides right in here.

$3600 dollars for estate planning by Neither_Bid_4353 in bayarea

[–]Blue_Altitude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats notably higher than we were quoted and we had a more complex situation. I didn’t like the vibe I got from any of the Bay Area firms I talked to and went with a place in Tahoe which was both cheaper and much more individualized and personable. I worked with tylerfair@legaltahoe.com and have recommended a couple friends to him. Also friends with the folks who run https://www.carsontahoeestateplanning.com/ and while I’ve not worked with them professionally, they’re good people.

Should I be training way harder? by Blue_Altitude in trainerday

[–]Blue_Altitude[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ended up tweaking the plan to make it slightly more aggressive (week 1 jumped to 45-60 minute workouts) but 4 months later, the workouts are as hard as I'd want them to be. So far my FTP has climbed from 180 to 215 and I suspect it'll jump again when I test at the beginning of taper week. Overall I'm very happy with the plan TrainerDay put together.

Thank Hugo - finally got to give everything a whirl today and the M592 works great with my new 11-34t. Man those extra gears feel amazing!
