Hi All
I am having dramas with my front 105 5800 derailleur. When on the small chainring and the 3-4 large cogs the chain rubs on the inside side of the cage. I took it to my LBS and they made a few adjustments and told me I had to use the trimming feature to stop the rubbing. When having a test at home I can trim the derailleur a little bit, but it is not enough to stop the rubbing. so I thought to adjust it myself (not a good idea, but I just wanted things to work). After setting the high- low screws and cable tension I could stop the rubbing on the cage while on the small chainring, but it wouldn't shift onto the large chainring. So using the barrel adjuster I adjusted so that I could shift onto the large chainring, but now the chain rubs on the small chainring again and no amount of trimming stops the rub.
So, after making a complete mess of things I went off off to a different bike shop for another adjustment. They tell me everything was out of wack and its now ok and I need to use the trims to stop any rubbing. All nice and happy off home I go and guess what, it still rubs on the small chainring. Am I missing the complete obvious or is something wrong happening here. Two adjustments from two bike shops and they both give the bike back to me saying all is ok and to use the trims to stop rubbing.
