for the first time i tried to adjust front derailleur. at first glance i tried to adjust front derailleur's height and angle. and to adjust i loosen the clamp. but in my opinion gear cable's tension was high which was still connected. i tried to increase derailleur's height by waggling and at the same time pushing up. so that there is a few mm between the bottom of the derailleur cage and largest sprocket teeth. but because of fd's inner cable tension i think i couldn't move it up enough and accidentally rub out frame's paint .. after that i tried different variations. first decreased fd's inner cable tension a bit, loosen the cable tension bolt. but i couldn't succeed in adjusting front derailleur's height and angle. should i decrease cable's tension or completely loosen the cable tension bolt when adjusting fd's height and angle ?
after trying i found a installation guide:
http://techdocs.shimano.com/media/techdocs/content/cycle/SI/SI_6R3FA_002/SI-6R3FA-002-ENG_v1_m56577569830673558.pdf
and there is a part 'SIS adjustment'. what does SIS means? and it says 'First remove the Pro-Set alignment block.' i couldn't understand this part. i haven't tried this guide yet.
any help would be appreciated ..
thanks..
