It originally came with bar end friction shifters but when I swapped to riser bars I bought these SRAM grip shifts.
Did it shift ok before? Or: Can you make it shift into the big ring by yanking on the relevant downtube cable? If so the shifter isn't moving enough cable.

Middle photo, the inner cable should go over that black metal tab/nub and then over top of 9mm nut and point outwards. You've got it under the nub = very hard to shift and then it'll suddenly fly the FD out too far

Any ideas what's wrong with the shifter/front derailleur on my partner's bike? It is very reluctant to shift up or down and either won't shift at all or it will only shift to the big ring with a lot of force. Have tried playing with cable tension and limit screws but to no avail. Maybe the height or angle is off but it looks fine to me? It originally came with bar end friction shifters but when I swapped to riser bars I bought these SRAM grip shifts. I assumed they would be compatible with the Shimano Alivio derailleur, but am I wrong?
