Gearing Challenge
So, i just got a brand new USS Challenge Hurricaine that i orderd through Angletech and i was so psyched to get it as ive been waiting of course for it to get here. Now that its here it looks great and everything but my front derailleur (shimano ultegra tripple) is giving me serious problems and im SO frustrated!! i just want it to work right so i can get to some propper riding. my front chain rings are a 60t a 42t and a 34t so of course going from a 60t to a 34t you could understand why there would be an issue. the problem is that no matter how i adjust the derailleur i can not get up onto the 60t at all. Whats more than that is even shifting between the other 2 rings is difficult. i have bar end shifters and i feel like i have to pull wayyyyy too hard to get it to shift, i just cant figure it out. maybe this combo just wont work at all and i need to change the gearing but what i dont get is that the standard rings on front are supposed to be a 60 a 42 and a 32 so why would that be standard if it doesnt even work? as an attempt to prevent some of this issue i even had the 32 changed to a 34 as Kelvin at Angletech called me and said that would make it work better. the rear derailler is nice and smooth and doesnt have issues with a 9-34 cassette but this trouble with the front is quite upsetting... especially considering the cost of this bike i would expect it to be in propper working order in all aspects when its brand new. If anyone could help me out i would really appreciate it.
