Any on line resources about adjusting this and that?

1. sheldonbrown.comsheldonbrown.comOpen ↗

2. parktool.comFAQindex.shtmlOpen ↗

3. groups.google.comgroups.google.comOpen ↗

4. Specific manufacturer's sites (particularly Shimano Europe and Campagnolo).

On line there are Sheldon Brown's and Park Tools' sites which you've already been directed to. Off
