hidehoforemeno's
so im about to pick up my spankers ocr zero (05) and was just wondering if there is a procedure to running in a pushy?
on my old ocr3 i just cliped in and mashed away, it soon turned to a substance that you would find down ure s'bend. should i be keeping a couple of choice tools with me on the first couple of rides to adjust on the run or pedal away and let the first service take care of it.
cheers jet

give it a damn hard run and take it back for it's first service once shifting goes [censored]
usually, cables stretch and brakes bed in.... so, just be aware it won't run perfectly after 100kms or so, cause adjustment is needed

Or else turn the adjuster barrel yourself....

Yeah its not too difficult to adjust the shifter and brake cables yourself.
But its well worth the trip back to the shop just for an overall check, as cranks might get lose, wheels might need a bit of truing.
I just got myself a OCR composite. Cant wait to ride it.
