I had a similar problem with
I had a similar problem with a Cannondale crank. My front mech is a SRAM Red. It took a trip to the bike shop to get it right so there was just sufficient clearance and the mech worked well. The tolerance is actually quite small and I couldn’t get it right.
I have a Supersix not a Synapse, but the problem is the same. What mech are you using?
I don’t really want to start some kind of angry debate about it
Nigel brings in irrelevant
Nigel brings in irrelevant subject.
No surprise there.
He is looking to have a discussion about something else other than dangerous driving.
Tedious
I think there are two races
I think there are two races today that are realy difficult to predict. Could be one to make a difference?

Not tried them, if you do please share your experience.
There is a place in Edinburgh
There is a place in Edinburgh that does fitting for Lake shoes too.
Pat, where are you based? Worth a bit of effort and maybe money for shoes that fit.
That one won’t have got
That one won’t have got better. I dropped Matthews a stage too early.
An hour before the deadline
An hour before the deadline my team had Aranburu and Cerny. Then I thought I would be clever and save some transfers for later so compromised my team for today. That didn’t work out.
After the car crash I made of the beginning of the Tour of Poland I have lost my touch at the moment.
Transparent contribution
Transparent contribution again. Nigel used ‘proper riders’ to get a response.
It is the usual tactic of half refering to the subject followed by somethng to distract the thread.
It remains tiresome.
Mountain stages are not going
Mountain stages are not going well for me. Swapped out WVA for this stage,…. doh,
Exciting stage today, double
Exciting stage today, double Ventoux.
Got my team all wrong for the Alps, lets hope that I have thought today’s selection through a bit better.
There was talk last night
There was talk last night that they may go for Philipsen, but I wasn’t going to risk a transfer on the rumour.
Did bring in Bouhanni for Ewan so it wasn’t all bad.
And I didn’t mind giving away 5 points to those that kept Alaphillipe to see Cav win again. Always a story in the TdF.
While it is all moot, Ewan
While it is all moot, Ewan will be listed today as DNS. Presumably if he had made a Lazarus like recovery he could have continued.
seems a bit moot, much more likely for the rider to nurse himself and his bike over the last km or 2 and then decide overnight theat they can’t continue, than to be unable to cover that small distance but then somehow be in a condition to race the following day.
I agree.
Finish 2.6.027 In the case of
Finish 2.6.027 In the case of a duly noted incident in the last three kilometres of a road race stage, the rider or riders affected shall be credited with the time of the rider or riders in whose company they were riding at the moment of the incident. His or their placing shall be determined by the order in which he or they actually cross the finishing line.UCI CYCLING REGULATIONS E100621 ROAD RACES 64 Is considered as an incident, any event independent from the physical capacity of the rider (fall, mechanical problem, puncture) and his will of remaining with the riders in whose company he was riding at the moment of the incident. Riders affected by an incident are asked to make themselves known to a commissaire by rising their hand and report to a commissaire after the finish of the stage. If, as the result of a duly noted fall in the last three kilometres, a rider cannot cross the finishing line, he shall be placed last in the stage and credited with the time of the rider or riders in whose company he was riding at the time of the fall. This article shall not apply where the finish is at the top of a hill-climb. Decisions related to this article are taken independently by the commissaires’ panel.
From the UCI Regs. Couldn’t find a statement about starting the next stage though. I suspect the Commissaires’ Panel will have discretion.
