Surly adjustable rear dropouts

Chris said:

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

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?

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.

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. Bill Brannon

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. Bill
