| Apr 28, 2018 at 9:37 | comment | added | user3671607 | @Argenti Apparatus - no, the Ultegra was fitted by the previous owner and it looks as new, it was old stock I presume. | |
| Apr 28, 2018 at 9:34 | comment | added | user3671607 | @Daniel R Hicks - no, it's definitely not rubbing | |

| Apr 27, 2018 at 23:07 | comment | added | Argenti Apparatus | @DanielRHicks you mean front derailleur? | |
| Apr 27, 2018 at 21:55 | comment | added | Daniel R Hicks | My first suspicion, for cross-chaining noise, is that the chain is rubbing the derailer somewhere. | |
