Chain rubbing on front derailer

[Blue Hills]

You should, but have you trimmed it?

i wouldn't bother - just avoid - there's no great need for that gear.

Cross-chaining, whether riding big/small or small/small, is a no-no. It puts great strain on the chain, sprockets, chainrings and jockey wheels..

To clarify - should the first combination have read big/big?

Yes. Thanks for pointing it out. I'll edit the quote to avoid confusion.

With Shimano, that's standard I think. But your never going to be in your little little gear for too long at a time anyway, so I wouldn't worry about it

Just re-read, sorry. Your cross chaining, your gonna want to avoid that
