I think your derailleur should work without issue, but if it's not shifting at all then there must be some issue with the set up. I did notice a couple things...
I see your downtube cable guides are mounted backwards/upside down. The little bullet adjusters hang down from the stops. They just need to switch sides. That shouldn't impede the cable though. It also seems like both your limit screws are pretty far out, so I dont think you have it locked into a short range of motion. My first thought is to be sure the cable is not accidentally pinched in the bottom bracket guide. Some have a small plate and screw to hold them on and I've had my cables get crimped in there. Along those same lines, trace the entire cable to be sure it's free. To check, just unbolt the cable from the derailleur and while pulling it taut with one hand, move your shift lever with the other. Also not a bad idea to manually pivot the FD to be sure it's not bound up. The other thing I noticed was how the cable was routed into the pinch bolt. It seems minor, but try running it down through the indent then wrap the cable end under the bolt towards the non drive side. This picture shows the indent pretty well: https://www.flickr.com/photos/23646261@N03/14725333997/in/set-72157646439942592/ Another thing I've done and driven myself crazy with, is not having the front shifter all the way down before I clamp the cable. When I get FD issues, I usually just unbolt the cable and start from scratch. Check my lever, check FD height/position, check inner limit screw, then clamp the cable, slowly shift up to big ring and set outer limit screw, then shift back and forth to be sure all's well. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
