Glws-
Yeah, I worked that bit out after 20 fucking tries to get everything working and once it was tucked in the arse end of the cage was hitting the crank arm and I gave up and had dinner.
7800, it's like up/down, align with big ring, tighten off cable, fucking sorted. Why'd they add another linkage with the bumper stopper thing and OMG I didn't see the fucking barrel adjuster coz it's an aero frame argh fucksake, gimme an old Tarmac any day.
hippy
When the fuck did Shimano FDs get so fucking difficult to adjust? What's with all the weird linkages and shit on the R8000? Fuck me. I've clearly led a sheltered life going from 7800 to Di2.
I just spent an hour working on a neighbours bike and still the fucking thing was piss. There must be a magic starting position that changes properly and doesn't hit the cranks or the rings. I didn't find it.
