Front derrailer problem
conure
Posts: 13
Hi guys,
Bit of an annoying problem! I got my bike a few days ago and initially when it lowest cog the chain rubbed (slightly) the front derailler, so I took it in and they adjusted it. Now, it is rubbing in the highest cog. Should I take it back or is this pretty standard for a new bike? I've found mixed results regarding this online! Secondly, the bike shop is closed at the weekend, is it alright to ride with it rubbing slightly, I don't want to cause unnecessary damage.
Thank you

Are you ' cross chaining ' i e using the big front chain wheel big rear cog , or small , small ? If so you should avoid these as you are putting the chain line too far out & you can use other gears to replicate ( mind you I suppose the shop will have explained this )' From the sharks in the penthouse,
to the rats in the basement,
its not that far '0 -
it's not normal no, just needs a tweak, follow this http://www.sheldonbrown.com/derailer-adjustment.html#front, you should be able to have no rubbing in any gear combo0
