Hi,
One of my bikes is a Giant Talon 4 2014 and my gears were playing up so decided to tune them. I have performed the front derailleur tuning on another bike okay but I cannot seem to get the front derailleur to tune in on this bike no matter what I try. Please help. Front derailleur is a Shimano Altus.
I have performed the following;
Tuned the rear derailleur first
Checked height of front derailleur is about 2 mm above large crank (triple crankset) and is parallel with the largest crank too
Placed chain in smallest crank and largest sprocket (also tried chain in smallest crank and smallest sprocket and smallest crank and in middle sprocket)
Released gear cable and wound barrel shifter almost all the way in
Adjusted inner setting screw till inner plate of derailleur is about 1mm from inside edge of chain
Refitted gear cable
THEN when I try to move chain to next largest crank the following seems to happen;
Thanks in advance

THEN when I try to move chain to next largest crank the following seems to happen;
- The chain keeps slipping off the center crank but will go to the largest crank. But when changing down it slips straight from largest to smallest crank
- Or I can get the chain to go to the center crank but will NOT go over onto the largest crank
Thanks in advance
