The most obvious sign of the misalignment on the boardmans was that if you looked at the drive train from above, the chainrings were in line with the small end of the cassette whereas they should be in line with the middle.
This meant that even in the small ring if you shifted above like halfway up the block at the back the chainline was horrendous and it was nigh on impossible to keep the chain on the front rings if you were at the top of the block at the back.
Does that make sense?
