Hi there,
I recently purchased the Trek Lexa. http://www.trekbikes.com/uk/en/bikes/road/endurance_race/lexa/lexa_compact/
The bloke in the shop told me about trimming the front derailleur and I've tried having a bit of a play with it but I'm not sure it's working as it should. The bike has 2 sprockets on the front and I am able to trim the derailleur up with a half-click of the large lever. However, I am not able to use the small lever to trim down, so I'm able to get 3 positions from the front derailleur: as close as possible to the frame (in small sprocket); trimmed right in small sprocket; and as far as possible from the frame (in large sprocket). Should there be a 4th position? i.e. trimmed left while in the large sprocket? The small lever seems a bit... spongy when it's pressed, rather than having a "half-click" like the large lever.
Sorry if that doesn't make as much sense as it should - I'm new to the world of road cycling!
