I'm following the installation and adjustment instructions for the FD and I just cannot get it aligned.
'To set the angle of the Front Derailleur, rotate it so that the flat surface of the chain guide outer plate is directly above the largest chainring and the rear edge of the chain guide is inwards by 0.5 to 1 mm compared to the front edge.'
Yet, when I put the FD on it sits in the opposite position. With the rear edge sitting outward and the front edge sitting inward. No matter what I do I cannot get it to sit correctly so that I can do the rest of the adjustment.
