I can get to about the third cog from the bottom (14T) with the help of the trim before my chain drags on the large ring. I try to shift to the large ring sooner (15T or 17T), depending on cadence and terrain, but the best laid plans....
No, I was big/small, not crosschained.

BTW, when I was at the LBS the wrench told me that my chain was a bit too short because he couldn't get it to go big/big. I pointed out that I shouldn't ever be big/big!
