Carleton--

what are you talking about? More people on this forum waste their $ on nice bike parts than anywhere else (except the roadie forum). This is a fine place to ask that question.

OP- also, wait till you put the chain on. For some reason, cogs and chainrings never look like they line up when I don't have a chain on. Then I put a chain on and am amazed that it's a straight line. Maybe it's just playing tricks w/ your eyes...
