Front mech problem

llamafarmer

Hi,

I'm trying to re-tune my front mech following the Park Tools guide. I've got to the point of setting the L Stop screw, but however I turn it, it doesn't seem to move the mech (chains on the correct cog and cable is loosened right off). Could there be a problem with the limit screw, or am I missing something? :?

screw it right in and the cage should then be pushed towards the big rings, then back off until it is in the right place.

Nope, no movement.... This is weird

Sorted it now. Had to pull on the cable to take the weight off the limit screw, I can wind it right in now

Thanks nicklouse

So with no tension in the cable, which ring is the mech putting the chain on?

EDIT: Nevermind, too slow!
