Today the wind hasn't picked up to "Oh my God" yet so I will take a ride and test out my shifting on the Eddy Merckx. The only thing I'm worried about is overshifting in the big ring and throwing the chain off.

You know, there is a limit screw on your front derailleur that prevents you from throwing the chain off. You might want to adjust that.

The chain now has three quick links in it and that isn't a good omen but we'll see.

How does that even happen? If it were a Shimano chain, at least you could use pins so you didn't have a bunch of dopey quick links.

My Habanero does not throw chains off big ring and normally if set correct this should not happen. However sometimes as mentioned J I believe, the small ring will dump the chain. It has not happened to be ever on the Habanero in 25,000 miles but my Wilier would still sometimes dump the small ring. I installed chain catcher and that ended if for good a beautiful little gadget that does not weight anything really.
