@ Jersey and anyone else with an opinion; B screw is as far out as I dare, but jockey wheel is still not getting too close to the cassette. It works, so we'll suck it and see. Looking twice at it made me change the cable outer, which seemed too short. The distance from axle to cable stop on the only modern bike I measured is 25mm less that on this, which explains why the supplied outer was struggling.
Chain length looks ok to me, but the long cage mech is probably overkill. I wanted to future-proof a crankset swap.
If the cranks were fugly then, they're worse now, but at least the Louboutins wont get mucky. I couldn't bring myself to fit one of those anti-jump chainguard things, so will have to advise against too much kerb hopping whilst changing down.
