Deurallier vibration

about 5-6 miles between the jockey wheel and the sprocket tooth

You know you're going to have to do a separate thread now on "techniques for measuring larger distances" !

You wrote

"5-6 MILES between the jockey wheel and the sprocket tooth"

I'll be taking a look at the B-tension tomorrow, so thanks for that. I know there's no shame taking it to the LBS but I like to have a go myself, always have done. Last chain I did was on a BMX i think and that was probably around 35 year's ago give or take and as for di2 never touched one. Made a few errors with this and it's cost me an extra £35 and some time posting here but I've learned alot and that's what it's about for me.

Its a great skill to learn, knowing how to adjust the gear system on your bike, sometimes its just very minor adjustments that make a big difference. Knowing how your bike works and is put together is very satisfying, but also can help out with your riding too, when you understand how the parts work, you can often make better use of them

The Park Tool website and videos are a great database on all things maintenance related

Yeah, I get that. But what with the combination of routing your chain in completely the wrong place and shortening it too much and going riding thinking it was fine you've actually been very lucky for it to only cost you £35 and not a couple of hundred quid more for price of a new Di2 mech, chain and hanger.
Take a good look through the links @R120 has just posted. Cycle mechanics is definitely not rocket science but it can be pretty easy (as you're finding out) to make catastrophic mistakes by having a go with not quite enough knowledge of what it is you're doing.
As R120 said. it can be really satisfying. and can even make you a better rider.

Oh trust me i know how lucky I was, 1st thing I checked was the price of a new deurallier and I thought, WTF have i done. Thankfully big lesson learned and in future I'll research stuff I don't know 1st. The Park tool guy is great also.
For now everything is adjusted which I believe is correct as it all runs sweet with no noise and under load.
