I know there are a lot of threads on front derailer's rubbing and I have taken a look at the guides, etc.
I ended up spending about 4 hours straight one Saturday trying to adjust everything but I gave up and brought it to a shop. This was about 1.5 months ago.. It came out of the shop still broken, so I had to bring it in again to the same place (just spent $60 there, so wanted to make sure I was getting service for my money).
Anyways, I bike about 10km every day for work/school, and I was just adjusting my bike seat and as I was testing out the seat around the apartment I noticed rubbing.. I get some rubbing on 3/6 to 3/8 on the outside of the derailleur. It appears as if it won't move far enough to the right (away from the bike) in order to prevent rubbing. I bike mostly in 3-7 on flats, so I would really like to fix this.
Is this anything I can do a quick fix with at home (adjust cable tension or high/lows quickly)? Or should I bring it in again.. I am not sure if I can explain to them that they just fixed this issue 45 days ago, but I supposed while I am biking around the city lots of different things can happen so the bike so the shop isn't really responsible.
The bike is a Giant hybrid bike with shimano derailleur
