Front derailleur woes
#7
I appreciate your inputs. I do not know the model number of the shifter. It is Ultegra and is marked "triple", and flight deck. Maybe this means it does include the trim function? I've been off bikes for ~20 years--sorry to be so out of touch. The good news is that the bike rides great and the rear derailleur is amazing. How about some advice regarding the chain throwing when shifting from middle to small ring? I have already set L so the front derailleur cage clears the chain by no more than 0.005" with the largest rear gear engaged, If I put in any more "L" the change will rub on the inside of the cage. Anyone know a good trick for setting/checking the angle for the front derailleur? I think the height is good and low.
