Several little problem.
1. When I have the chain on the smallest chain cog and the largest cassette cog (ie closest to the frame) it just touches the inside edge of the front derailleur. The derailleur is correctly aligned but there is no way to stop this rubbing as the derailleur is hard against the frame - no more adjustment. Is this normal on a triple?
2. In hope of fixing the problem described above I had installed a barrel adjuster. As noted above this would not actually help. However I can't get the adjuster to work as both parts turn at the same time. Indeed I can't quite see how they can ever work effectively. I must be missing something obvious.
Shimano 2300 Triban 3.
Bikes seem to be costing me a small fortune with never ending little jobs.
