Hi,
I have recently installed a new gear cable as the old one had frayed. I took the opportunity to start from scratch and learn a bit about my bike.
I had adjusted the front derailleur so that it is about 1mm from the largest front chain ring and lined it parallel with the frame. I adjusted the low limit screw so it has a small gap between the derailleur and chain. I then connected the new cable while pulling it taut.
When i shift up it shifts fine onto the middle front chain ring but then jams the chain when trying to shift up to the largest ring. I have tried to adjust the height of the derailleur but not joy.
Any ideas guys? Really don't want to take it to a shop as don't want to be beaten!!!!!
Thanks in advance
