• Question to those running front mech made in 21st century…and please no answers ‘ 1 x’

    Purchased a larger cassette because I am getting older , up to 36 from 28.
    However when in big big combo, the chain rubs on the front mech, but not sides , but the top because of chain height angle to big ring. If I move mech up to clear this it is so high that shifting is crap. Mech is old campag veloce friction shift, that until now has been flawless and buttery smooth.

    In the new world of big cassettes and grx etc, does thus still happen? Running 46/30, and 11 36, but was 11 28.

    Any help appreciated, except 1 x !

  • Sounds like your mech is not designed for modern sized cassettes. Maybe try a 32 as an interim if you don't want to change the FD?
