I just dumped a pile of cash upgrading my sirrus expert from a 8 speed to a nine, new casset, derailers, chain, shifters, B-bracket and crank. I have been on the wind trainer for about month, no probs. Now the weather have come around so I can ride outside ( well sort of -4 deg. celcius this morning) Ok so here is the problem when I shift to the lorge cog (25 teeth) in the middle ring the chain jumps on and off. Any Ideas what to check. Thanks

Yeah, Adjust your derailleur to move over a bit more.
The barrel adjuster on the derailleur should be able to correct it. It is where the cable housing stops on the body of it. Turn it half a turn at a time while pedaling to find the direction that gets better and pursue it to a finer degree afterward. Your shifting response should be the same upshifting and downshifting, so check that as you go.

OK, but not in a track stand or with the bike upside down in the living room. It should be ~ the same on the road. Power up a good hill where things can flex a bit -- get it right in the stand and take it out, tweak on the road once or twice...viola.
