Thanks to everyone who posts here and helps the newbies like me.
I've read a couple threads about the chain rubbing the front derailer, so I assume I'm not alone.. but I haven't been able to gather enough info to fix the problem.
When the chain is on the biggest cog in the front, the chain rubs the outer side of the front derailer. It doesn't seem to matter as much which cog it is on in the rear, but it ALWAYS rubs when on the smaller ones.
I'm completely new to cycling & just picked this bike up used.. so I don't really know what I'm doing & can't figure out how to adjust the derailer to allow it to move out a tad bit more. Suggestions?
