Is that normal behavior? Also, after setting the low and high limits, on the smaller front gear for example, I get chain rub against the front derailleur cage when the back gears are set to either the smallest or largest cog. Is this normal on the Nano? I just read on sheldonbrown.com, that if there is chain rub, I can "trim" the front derailleur with the non-indexed shifter, but should I even need to do that? Can the chain rub be adjusted out? I don't believe I've run into this before on other bikes.
