My bike is driving me nuts lol - I changed the gear cables over the weekend cos I was having problems with the front derailleur. All works well with the exception of changing to the small chainring when there is just a little bit of a gradient. On the flat it works fine.
Now, I adjusted the high and angle of the derailleur, I don't think the 'L' limit screw has any adjustment left - I can undo the screw a bit more but it wont make any difference I think the limit is at its maximun.... in other words I failed to improve the job my LBS had done this mean that whenever I think I will need the small chainring I have to change to that while on the flat and that is annoying me a lot
The process I used to adjust the 'L' limit was this:
Chain on largest sprocket at the back and smallest ring in the front
released the cable tension
'L' screw adjusted so that chain 1 - 2 ml from the inner plate
As I said before, the rest is fine....
BTW it's a cheap Alivio derailleur
Thanks in advance
