I am about ready to headbutt the wall so please help!!!
I have bought a new chainset (48-38-28), Shimano cassette (11-34) and Shimano LX front and rear derailleurs. I thought I was a reasonably competent bike adjuster (won't say mechanic cos clearly that's cobblers) but I just can't get the front derailleur to sit right without it rubbing on the chain somewhere. I assume that with a 9-speed setup the tolerances are that much smaller but it's driving me to distraction. Has anyone got a similar system with these ranges of gears and did they have similar problems? Can anyone please tell me where I may be going wrong? I know that I may not be giving you all the info you need to answer this but if someone can point me in the right direction I can try it get back to you. Thanks
