thanks man! your Royal was a big inspiration for this one. I really love those bars. From that first ride the front shifting seems all good, but I had that same crankset (44/28) and front derailleur combo on a different build, so it's tried and tested. that dura ace 7403 fd suggests a max 16 tooth difference so that's what I went with. 20t sounds quite a big jump unless you're running a triple shifter. With the limit screws dialled in I tend to shift quite positively and then trim it after the chain has jumped (if that makes sense).
