  • Have you got a cable adjuster for the front mech?
    To set the height, with no cable attached, the outer edge of the cage should be about 2 or 3 mm above the outer chainring.
    Make sure the derailleur is parallel with the chainring.
    To set the lower limit, have the outside edge of the cage level with the outside edge of the big chainring, place a large allen key against the chainring and adjust the limit screw until the cage touches it.
    While there's no cable tension, push the derailleur out as far as you can to set the upper limit, don't let the cage go more than a few mm past the outer chainring.

    Make sure the hood shifter is in the lowest position, pull through the cable as tight as you can and tighten the clamp bolt.

    Try shifting to each end of the cassette on each chainring and use the inline cable adjuster to fine tune it for rubbing. Inevitably you'll add some tension when it's rubbing on one end then it makes it rub on the other end but just play with it, it's a fine balance, make small adjustments and do a shift on front after each adjustment to make sure it's bedded in.
