Hmmmm. I wonder if I should set the lower FD limit screw closer to the chain?

My force has never dropped a chain. I've heard it can be retrofitted onto the etap derailuer but I don't think it's worth bothering with.

I took out the 09 Tarmac yesterday for apparently 55 miles ride. Which is odd because in the past its always been a 62 mile ride.....
I finally was able to use a set of mavic ksyrium helium wheels I bought from an old forum user 10 years ago. The rear had a butt ton of miles and was bent. If made it as straight as I could and got about 1/2 a season out of it, back then. Then I moved to carbon wheels. Well on Ebay a couple weeks ago I got a rear wheel for pretty cheap. And scavenged the rim to rebuild the helium. It came out fantastic rides like dream.
I put a set of Continental Grand Sport Race tires on them that I bought last year. I have to say I'm pretty happy with them after thier first ride. They are 25mm and went on 20mm rim no problem. This frame is just a bit wider in the rear than my '11, 25mm don't rub.
The parts to upgrade the shifting should be here by the end of the week. Can't wait to get it finished up.

Re: chain drop/chain catchers, I would like to think that a properly setup drivetrain would never drop a chain and BITD when I rode 6 speed it NEVER happened. NEVER. EVER.
However, it seems the more modern drivetrains (possibly complicated by compact cranksets) make it happen occasionally to me, even when drivetrain and FD are set up properly.
Before I installed my chain catchers, I would drop the chain when shifting from big to little maybe on 0.5% of front shifts. One in 200. Rare, but often enough that it makes sense for me to have the chain catcher.
YMMV.
p.s. my experience is limited to Shimano cable-activated drivetrains. Obv may be different for SRAM/Campy/Di2.

Back when I used to ride the only time I dropped a chain was on that rare occasion when I neglected to shift down for a hill.

Dang. Didn't even think of that. Dallas in a tent during the summer? Ugh.
My first camping experience was when I rode across the country. We had some miserable nights in the Midwest. I can honestly say that I would rather sleep in a tent when it's in the 30s than when it's warm/hot and humid.

How does Lukoil Genesis 0-20 compare to Mobile 1 in the same grade? Or Castrol, for that matter?
