Bikes: 2017 BMC Roadmachine 01 Enve wheels, Sram red etap,Cinelli Vigorelli single speed, 2009 Cannondale Capo, 2016 trek Domane 6.9, disc and Di2, 2016 Scott Scale 710, 27.5 plus tires and boost rims

After messing around with my Sram Force 11 speed I am able to ride all the gears at any time but with a tiny amount of rub when in small/small.

I found the stop adjustments to be very sensitive and require a light touch to get where you need them. I do all my own work on my own Park stand and I am able to devout more time to this than a bike shop probably would be willing to.

Only issue I have with the current set up is when I am in the 34/11 , (usually an error caused by adrenaline rush when cresting after a climb) and throw the FD to the big ring I run a chance of big ring derail.

When looking at the extreme cross chaining in the 34/11 spot I can see how this would always be a possibility and I try not to be in that gear.
