Hi Joel, Check the height of the derailleur with respect to the large chainring. Make sure that it is 1-3 mm or so above the teeth of the big ring, but not much more than that. Also 1/4 turn increments on the limit screw, in my experience, can have large effects on the actual travel of the FD so try smaller adjustments than that. Also check the angle of the outer plate of the FD. It should be parallel to the big chainring or the front edge turned ~1 degree in toward the frame.
I'd check all these first and then see what happens, Joe > Date: Sat, 1 Aug 2009 08:28:33 -0700 > Subject: [RBW] Front Derailleur Question > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected] > > > I am having persistent trouble on my Hilsen with the FD.
