Also, since the 451's bumped up my gearing, I've decided to stick w/the 53t outter / 39t inner at the front, which came stock w/the FSA Team Issue cranks. (rear's still 12-25, 10spd)
And last, the front derailer is SUPERB! I'd definitely recommend it to anyone seeking additional gears, without going the internal-geared hub route. I've logged over 150km's since the second session of tuning it, and its performing flawless!!
The only test I was able to get w/the 451's was in the parking lot at the LBS, but I will be going on a 60km group ride tomorrow! - I can't wait!
I'll post more up close'n detailed pics of the set up soon.
