I was just going to say the same thing. Run that ring as inboard as you can get it.

more acute chain angle on the little cog seems preferable to the alternative if you are choosing

Also if you want a slightly less worse low gear chain angle swap in a 10s cassette like the 11-48 Advent X and dial in the limit screw and call it good.

At some point too far inboard will skip on the small cog but I donât know where that is and I suspect itâs further inwards that is actually testable. Plus itâs affected by chainstay length. I definitely donât follow the spec, and a big STFU to redditors who think Transmission needs a 55 chainline.

This has been my experience, too. The Jones probably should have come with a -3 out of the box, with the option to drop to a -6.
Itâs probably specâd that way because hambike.

Yeah, Jones started using 0 rings to clear plus tires on I think the 142 era of his frames. Then he probably got curmudgeonly with running short Box cassettes and kept the spec.

I believe it was Scott that demanded a 55mm chain line to get frame clearance. SRAM engineers the whole new UDH/Transmission system to make it so they can push the cassette out and force everyone to redesign their frames around UDH instead of SuperBoost. Shimano just says âour chains are superior and will tolerate 55 mmâ (they do, I guess, if you donât count âfalling off the big ring backpedallingâ as a problem. Pedal forwards, racer boy). Easy OEM sale, just make your bb spindles slightly wider and add a spacer.

I could have sworn they had speced a 3mm ring until looking again recently.
Could be that theyâre also trying to maintain a little extra clearance on the complete bikes for anyone that wants to upgrade to the larger Duro Crux tires and/or the wider Jones carbon rims.
This is what JJ hinted at when I spoke to him yesterday.

Shop seems to like the Terevail tape. Really shows how good of a stock tot he rim you have (and sticks way better than stans or that strapping tape).
are you guys talking about my dong?
Iâve been enjoying the DT Swiss style tape over the past year. Teravail looks like a better value?
Also: brake cleaner for getting thick oem tape glue chunks off. So good.

Just spray it on a rag and wipe it off?
Is it safe for carbon rims?
Does this mean I have to go to an auto supply store?
I assume that you can order it off amazon. Google says not good for carbon fiber.
Apparently acetone is OK: https://ffwdusa.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/FFWD-Wheels-Carbon-Wheel-Maintenance.pdf
I bet it does as good of a job. I was looking for acetone on my death chemicals shelf when I thought to yolo with brake cleaner.
I like the DT rim tape more, but I am still working through my roll of Tessa. Changing the tape every two or three seasons isnât bad.
