Please be gentle … I’ve not done this before!
I’m just in the final stages of building my first bike from the frame up, a totally bespoke flat-bar gravel-ish type. It’s all gone surprisingly well and now I just need to install the chain and rear derailleur (- it’s a 1×11 full XT setup).
I am happy to try this myself and have the LBS on standby in case I mess it all up. To anyone who has done this, could you advise on any useful points and/or good YouTube videos that might help.
Also, I have an HG701 chain but am wondering if there is a better/smoother chain, given I’ll be running 11-46. I’ve heard about the risk of the chain dropping on the bigger cogs.
Many thanks in advance 🙂
