(') said:I think there are about 8 adjusting screws/nuts I can alter on my
gears - would be grateful for some pointers as to which one/s may be
likely to fix a small problem.
21 gears in all - 2/5 2/6 and 2/7 all make progressively more
whirring, with 2/7 sounding like it's not in properly. Oddly though,
3/7 is fine, as is 1/7. 2/4 downwards sounds and feels fine too. I
haven't got the full tech details on the model (could get it I'm
sure), but it's Shimano.
Any tips or useful websites would be appreciated.

Essentially, the limit screws should be set up properly and it's
unlikely you'll need to mess with them, so the main thing is the barrel
adjuster on the cable.
It's most unlikely you need to do anything with the front deraileur
unless it is actually impossible to shift onto the big or small
chainring, or the chain keeps falling off.
