Cross-chaining! Help!

[bcipam]

I'm just impressed you tried to adjust everything yourself. I understand how to do it but leave it to the mechanics in my life (either friends or bike shop). Sounds like some adjustment is needed and you'll be OK.

Thanks for all the tips, everyone.

Well I spent an hour fussing with the FD this morning...

Does FD stand for "front derailleur" or "@3%&ing derailleur?"

[bikerz]

Ha! Yeah - that's a technical term! (We're you hiding out in my driveway listening to me???) Plus, it is too hard to spell derailleur properly!

[Adventure Girl]

it is too hard to spell derailleur properly!

It's also hard to pronounce.

Do you say, "Dee rail yur" or "Dee rail er"?

[slinkedog]

De-rail-yur.

And you use the twa-lay?

And you use the twa-lay?

Huh?

I'm sure I should know what you're referring to, but sadly, I don't.

[SadieKate]

Toilet.

blah-blah-blah. My answer was too short so I'm filling space.

[slinkedog]

I go to the can, thank you very much!!!

Does all this constitute 'thread drift?'
