The way I do it was self-taught decades ago and no doubt wrong but it works so here goes:
Chain in small front/big rear like you said, L and H screws all the way out, then I adjust the L screw to get the cage just inboard enough to clear the chain. That's my low position for the derailer, I know I dont want it swinging any closer to the frame. Now I tighten the cable at the clamp and shift to the big front/small rear. Is the fd getting my chain over to the big ring? Good, now I'm screwing the H limit in just far enough to keep the chain from overshifting and tossing the chain between the ring and crankarm. Once I've gotten this far I ride a bit to dial the L and H screws, often on the first try one or the other isn't quite right and I'm not getting enough travel to knock the chain to the next ring. Easy! 😂 On Saturday, December 3, 2022 at 11:41:41 AM UTC-8 Doug H. wrote: > I want to tap into the collective knowledge here. I need to adjust my > Shimano Deore front derailer on my Clem.
