I took a very shoddy NDS shot this morning, I'll pop it up in a second.
The build was really funny. Everything that could go wrong did… Mudguard bolt fouled the chain in the smallest sprocket, I didn't have a shorter one so I cut the bolt down… as I finished cutting it the bolt pinged off somewhere into the garage never to be seen again… Do it again, etc.
Routed the chain wrong through the RD like I ALWAYS do (outside the cage between the two jockey wheels) so I had to break it and re-join it.
Then the right shifter wasn't cranking the cable tension up enough. I eventually realised the cable hadn't seated properly in the slot, had to fish it out and re-seat it, etc.
It just took forever.
