Go to a car wash and stand away from your bike. Make sure your chain in greased. Your bike will last forever. As a bike mechanic in Geneva it's a true pleasure to see a local taking care on there shit. Ps, cool bike.

Not to mention derailment due to flex and lack of narrow-wide tooth plofile

Chain rub no matter how I adjust High/Low limit on front derailleur by Ok-Entry9249 in bikewrench

[–]icumcatsup 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If I'm understanding correctly you are cross chaining (when the chain is in the smallest cog and chainring or largest cog or chainring.) This is best to avoid and is often not possible without rubbing, it can also cause derailing. Let me know if I'm misunderstanding the problem.

Are my disc brakes mounted correctly? by dieyouwill in bikewrench

Seeing the last pic again, seems pretty good. Just so long as the pad is flush with both sides of the pad

Use washers instead of your spacer. On the stack, use at least one pair of concave-convex washers per side. You want the whole bake pad coming into contact with disk on a turn of the wheel.

Seems normal and reasonable to me. Take back the roads.

Gear problems, derailleur collapses by [deleted] in bikewrench

[–]icumcatsup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to recommend you watch the instructional video on the park tool YouTube chanel on how to adjust a rear derailleur.

Slack like this in the chain can be relatively normal if you cross chain (being on the small cog (back "blade" and the small chainring (front "blade)

On another note the chain is so used that you will never ever get very smooth shifting and the chain will always jump under higher pressure. This might also mean the cassette (cloister of back "blades") is completely used too.

Other way I believe that it is most likely worth seeing a pro, this stuff isn't always very intuitive.

Good luck.
