Well, started off pretty great.
Think I over tightened the plastic crank cap thing. Which rounded the bolt trying to back it out. Meh.
My issue now is shifting. Cand get the shifter to go down gear beyond 9 clicks and really hax to force the 9th click. Also getting some bad grinding in the lower half of the gears. So I'm thinking a couple things.
1. Chainline issue? The 30t chainring had spacers built into it to clear the chain, but maybe I need a little more? The bottom sproket holder part of the derailleur seems to be rubbing on the side of the chain.
2. Bent hanger? It kinda looks like it's bent in toward the wheel slightly, but I have a terrible eye for that sort of thing.
Anyine know why I can only shift down 9 gears? It's the shifter that seems to be giving up, not the derailleur. I decided to pull the inner cable just to make sure i had up the highest gear prior to ibstalling the cable...i did. But now I need a new cable. I knew I should have bought an extra few today. (And now I'm remembering Tim told me to get an extra and I forgot since I got the second one for my dropper.
Well there you have it. I have to help a friend build a playset for his yard tomorrow, but hopefully I can grab a bunch of cables from toms cyclery who's going out of business. FML.
