6800 F. Der truly does suck. Not only is it hard to set up just right (in-line tensioner included) it seems to me that it is incredibly narrow and sensitive to angle ... and because mine (and yours, I'd guess) are bolt-on, there is so little angle adjustment possibly ... I might have to keep mounting mine a millimeter higher after every ride until I hit the sweet spot.
