Dialed in FD and learned about the "trim" feature on the front shifter, replaced a frayed cable, and--I think--fixed the rattle on the right shifter nameplate by tightening a small screw and adding a touch of shoe-goo. I'm very sad it's not going on vacation next week with me.
I've seen people use a small piece of felt on top of the nameplate to stop the rattle...
