This is with the GRX rings.

Not as …w i d e… as mtbnut87 but I’m running GRX Di2 with 44/28 chain rings and 11-36 cassette. Could do a 11-40 cassette with b screw turned out or road link. I swapped out the rings on my GRX 48/31 crank with ones…

Yes that is exactly what it’s doing. When I put in the hanger by hand it has a good amount of play. The hanger is 16mm diameter (outside width) and the frame hanger hole is 17.2 diameter. It doesn’t help that the hanger…
So the carbon layup at the derailleur hanger area is definitely not consistent. There’s no paint but feeling it with my finger it’s got higher areas. Measuring with calipers the thickness of the derailleur hanger area…
Hi All. I have an issue with my 696 frame. The rear derailleur hanger does not sit flush with the frame, is misaligned and moves up and down when the screw is fully tightened. The movement pivot point is at the screw.…
In my quest to make my 505 as humanly comfortable as possible I have added a Red Shift stem, Cane Creek eeSilk seatpost, ergonomic grips on the drops, a 11-36 cassette (a GRX 48/31 or 46/30 crank soon to be installed to…
Thanks for the feedback. A bud sent me pics of his and that FD bracket is in the way. Argh. I’m gonna inquire if the manufacturer can add a lower cage mount. As shimming the B-Rad pushes the cage ever further out. If a…
