It rides ok...it shifts just fine.....just doesn't [i]look[/i] right to me, somehow?

PX London Road, 50/34 chainset, 11/32 10-speed cassette.

I dunno any more. What think you? Here's a big-big, small-small, and zoomed in small-small shot.

It's definitely a bit too long - I'd start by taking one link out and seeing how it looks then.

If the mech cage is horizontal or past that when in small/small then due to the angles involved it will have difficulty controlling the chain tension effectively and is also very close to its end stop.

In fact yours is on its end stop.
