What should the increments be when I micro adjust my 8050 front mech?

It’s not touching the chain but 0.15mm clearance according to my feeler gauge. When I move it outboard one notch, it’s very nearly 0.5mm and doesn’t seem to do the overshift then come back in.

Is micro adjustment supposed to be done in big/big? That’s what Shimano seem to say say but it sounds counterintuitive to me.

There was no rubbing when I unleashed my massive 400w sprint on a little test ride but I don’t like things not being quite right.

I think the increments are 1mm and the recommended gap is 0.5mm but it's all in the Shimano manuals.
Don't always need to do everything by the book, some chainrings are wonky or you can have massive power.

The latter certainly won’t be a problem.

So the micro adjust isn’t very micro? Sounds like it’ll be more exact to use the limit screws to get it bang on.
