  1. I've been having problems adjusting my front derailleur (Ultegra double). When I push the shift lever all the way, it overshoots the big chainring, and drops my chain off the chainring. However, the outer limit screw doesn't seem to be moving the derailleur. I've tightned the cable as much as possible, but to no avail.

    Also, on the small ring/inner cog, there is not a problem, but it seems to me that the inner part of the derailleur is a bit too close to the chain, and may rub when I stand on the pedals. What I'm getting at is that I think the entire derailleur needs to be moved inward. Any advice?

    www.parktool has the complete drill.Start at the beginning with the shifter in the small ring position and the cable loose.Make sure derailer height and alignment is correct.
