  1. I'm finishing the setup of my first mtb and I'm facing the front derailleur tuning; the shifting
    works fine on smaller and intermediate crowns but on the larger one (on the smaller sprockets) the
    chain touches the inside (toward the outer side) of the cage. What do I have to do to fix it, use
    the H screw (shimano XT derailleur) or adjust the cable tension on the shifter?

    thanks

    You will have to adjust the cable tension via the barrel adjuster on your shifter. Unscrew it
    to increase tension. If the the derailleur is in the stops you will have to back off on the H
    limit screw.
