If I do that, I'm still losing 3 out of my 9 gogs in the back. The small ring and smallest 3 gogs are affected by the angle of the chain intersecting with the big ring.
Hrm, that sounds like a similar problem I had when I put my Ciocc together, I could hit 6 of 9 gears no matter how much I tweaked the derailleurs. I finally figured out that the chain was too long, could that be it?
