3rd time lucky... the cable tensioner thing is next.
Depends if he brings his bike for a third look ha! -
Yeah, well I had another go, this time with the cable tensioner thingie and it might be better but it's still not perfect. I dunno if it's bent or if the cable is sticky or if I'm not starting in the right position or what.
If I adjust for one extreme the other extreme rubs - I can't get the whole range of the cassette to not rub the FD cage.

Would you say this applies to 5800 mech too?

Yeah, get it dead straight after starting with it slightly wonky. Then get cable tension right so that the trim looks like it is right, then dial H limit in to push the mech out further to clear chain when in smallest rear cog, then check L limit for when in biggest rear cog. Kinda backwards order to older ones but they work great when set up. Cable tension makes a difference to how far out the mech goes, then you fine tune that with H limit.
