The chainrings are now on correctly, but the shifting is terrible, just a quick spin up and down the street and the chain doesn't seem to want to go up on to the big ring, just rattles around for quite a while then painfully engages. Not to happy atm.
Any ideas what could be wrong, thought it would be quite smooth with DI2. As THM suggests stick with Praxis, maybe I should have listened but the Fibre Lytes look awesome. !!!
Cheers

@KCookie,

Are the lift pins correctly positioned?
If they are, IMHO minor adjustment on the FD should do the trick.
Bring it over to your LBS to have it adjusted, I wouldn't risk damaging the carbon rings on the Fibre Lytes unless you're confident enough with fine tuning the Di2 FD (Campy guy here unfortunately)
Nice bike btw..

Cheers

Hi Maverick_1
Yes the pins are correct now, wouldn't have a clue about adjusting the FD, getting quite fed up going back and forth the the LBS as it's close to an Hour each way.
Cheers, yes I love the bike, just want to be able the ride it.

You need a new bikeshop. That's unacceptable they built a bike for you and didn't check shifting.

This video should be pretty straight forward, may be a good start into wrenching yourself:

+1 on a new bikeshop..

Hopefully this is not the same shop that took almost a year to replace your frameset.

Cheers

The video did make it look easy. I gave it a go and completely mucked it up, the FD now rubs on the chainring. Thats why i dont work on bikes, im useless.
Will try a different shop.

That looks very nice .
If you want to get a similar natural logo look on your downtube [ stealthy]
Just use some decals on your nude carbon frame press them down hard , remove them after a few hours and you will have the exact same effect. It really works.

I think they may have skipped an important step when adjusting the upper and lower limit screws. For the upper, put the chain in the big ring and smallest rear cog and adjust the limit screw so there's about 1mm of clearance on the outside of the cage and the chain. For the lower, put the chain on the little ring and biggest cog and adjust the limit screw so that the inside of the cage has about 1mm of clearance. That should resolve your rubbing issue. If not, let us know where it's rubbing and maybe a pic and we can maybe help further.

Great Bike !!!
This is one of nicest bikes on WW forum.

Only small visual flaw are those red pedals. Other than that, it is perfect.
