How do I increase the travel of the front derailleur?
I had to replace the bottom bracket. The new spindle is longer than the one I replaced. Now, I can't get sufficient travel to move the chain to the outside chainring (of a double).
I've backed the limit screw out as far as it will go. The arm of the derailleur hits the body of the derailleur itself. There is no more room to give.
Do I need to replace the derailleur? If so, what kind of information do I need to find a derailleur with sufficient travel.
Thanks,
