The Big Ring
Whenever I shift into the big ring, I get this steady sound of dragging on the harder half of the gears along with a sluggish feeling, and this clicking in the easier half (the same sound made when pedaling backwards). Anyone get the same thing as this?
Btw, the groupset is full Sora, except for Tiagra rear derailleur and a Truvativ Isoflow road Compact 50/34 crankset.

And if so, you need to "trim" the FD by shifting it a bit to prevent the rubbing.
Or you could just let it rub. I've seen a few FDs where the chain had just about worn through the cage !
