I'm looking to swap c.2008 Shimano ultegra stuff between two bikes.
Bike 1 has 10sp 53 - 39 and a triple mech bodge. I commute 99.9% on 39 and it doesn't shift well (there's a knack to it) as the range is too wide at 14.
Bike 2 has 10sp 50 - 34 compact I'm currently using it on zwift with rollers and am a bit undergeared on bigger efforts.
If I chuck the 53 -39 over to bike 2, I'll just have to reset the front mech higher, is that right?
I can then run the bodge hack on just the 34 spin ftw until I can source another double mech?
Am I overlooking owt?
