Usually, descending follows climbing, more as a reward for the work of climbing as anything else. \u00a0Used the old BB guide and cut the new Campagnolo BB guide to fit, installed the cable guide, cable liner, and the cable runs are clean. \u00a0Cut the front derailleur housing (the only housing for the front derailleur), and installed it. \u00a0Cut the front piece of housing for the rear derailleur and installed it. \u00a0Checked to be sure the housing looks good at lock to lock turns, and it’s good. \u00a0Cut the second piece for the rear derailleur. \u00a0Shift housing is cut to length, lubed, and installed – cables are run. \u00a0Need to set the low limit screws and fasten the cables to the derailleurs. \u00a0Then the chain, then adjust the derailleurs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Clamped the rear derailleur cable and adjusted the high limit by eyeing the jockey wheels and the small cog – close enough for a start. \u00a0The low limit can\u2019t be adjusted until I put the chain on, so that the derailleur can be properly spaced away from the large cog using the B screw. \u00a0Installed the chain, which needed to be shortened by one link. \u00a0This was because the new crankset is a 50\/34 compact and the old one was 52\/39.<\/span><\/p>\n

The front derailleur does not shift up or down. \u00a0Will have to pull the cable out and see if I can figure out the problem. \u00a0Until I can shift to the big chainring, I cannot finish the rear derailleur adjustments. \u00a0FIGURED IT OUT! \u00a0There are two holes for the cable in the shifter body, and I had the cable in the wrong one. \u00a0Once I fixed that the front derailleur shifted fine. \u00a0Now I can work on the rear derailleur adjustments.<\/span><\/p>\n

Was having trouble getting the rear derailleur to shift onto the big cog, so I suspected the derailleur hanger wasn\u2019t straight. \u00a0Sure enough, it wasn\u2019t, so I adjusted that and then the rear shifting was easy to adjust. \u00a0Installed the pedals, and crimped caps on the cut cable ends.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now we can change gears for climbing and descending, which is a plus.<\/p>\n
