  • Any tricks to getting it lower that doesn't involve filing the inside of the braze on mount slot?

    I'm determined to get this to work. Looking at it again and it seems the gap is more like 6mm.

    I think I can file the slot and get 2mm, possibly 3mm. Another option would be these angled shims people use for oval chainrings, like so:

    Which I think would rotate the derailleur downwards enough to get the desired gap.

    Part of me thinks this will work, the other that I should just go semi compact 52 36 and forget it.

    Trade in for a 585? All the same Look loveliness but with a clamp on FD which lets me run 48/34 on mine 😀
