  1. I'm finishing up my CrossCheck and am having problem dialing in the
    drivetrain.

    Does it make a difference where the axle sits in the dropout? I can't
    imagine it does, but I'm trying to cover all the bases. The wheel is
    centered (I counted exposed threads on the dropout-adjusting-screws) and
    about halfway into the dropout.

    For the record, I'm using 105 STIs, XTR 952 front derailleur, Deore rear,
    SRAM 11-34 cassette, Ritchey V-Pro Cross cranks, and a SRAM PC-59 chain.
    They're all new parts.

    What is the trouble? Simply that you aren't sure what to do with the
    dropout screws, or is something else going on that makes you wonder if
    your position in the dropouts is wrong?

    I just put together a CrossCheck. What's not "dialed in"? Symptoms? What
    rear hub? My guess, with no information, is that your problem is in front
    and your STI will not properly shift your mountain front derailleur. I know
    it will not work properly with a triple but I don't know about a double. May
    be time for a 105 front. One of the shop guys will know for sure.

    Yeah, that was it. Picked up an Ultegra today and I'm fine.

    I haven't yet got the rear shifting really well...a bit of grinding and some
    cog skipping, but I'll make it work. It's a Deore rear hub.

    I had to back out the B screw as far as it would go with an XT rear and
    11-32 with Ultegra hubs. Even at that it tracks further from the cogs than I
    would like.
