I'm a bit annoyed with one of my LBS. I asked them to look at the shifting on my older bike among other things which they carried out commendably. It was a problem shifting onto the larger chainring in mid sprocket. Since it's come back however - and I'd already fitted a new chain and cassette - the new chain comes off regularly. I adjusted the upper limit, clockwise to move the mech position in, so far so good, but now the bloody chain won't shift down to the smaller chainring without difficulty...
So, the last few days I've been trying to find the right position on the upper limit screw to suit both issues but can't help thinking this isn't going to achieve a solution. Do I need then to alter the lower limit? I thought they were independent of each other (the lower and upper)?
And, more importantly, do I need to release the cable for either of these adjustments to take effect? When I've adjusted the upper limit screw before, I've always left the cable intact.
Thanks in advance and yes, I know I should take it back, but they're quite some way and I haven't the time.
