Finally got all the parts in today and spent the evening getting everything installed. Shifters seem to work *almost* perfectly. I was able to quickly get the rear derailleur dailed in, but the front one is being finicky. I can get it to shift between the middle and biggest chainrings but it won’t go down to the smallest. If I set the cable tension etc so it will shift down to the smallest I can’t seem to get it shift to the largest... I’ll keep messing with it and get some help from a friend but I may eventually take it to my LBS to see what they can do.

Only real issue issue is with the brakes. (I may make a separate post in Bicycle Mechanics just to address this topic.) I bought Tektro R559 extra long reach brakes - the nutted version, recessed wouldn’t fit in my bike. They came with two contoured washers for each brake. I was only able to use one of them because the bolts weren’t long enough for me to use both. So right now I’ve got the contoured washer between the brake and frame and a flat washer between the nut frame. Also, the arms on the rear brakes still aren’t quite long enough. The brake pads when set at their lowest position sit at the very top of the rim. With both front and rear brakes adjusted to the best of my very limited ability the braking power is definitely lacking...
