Boardman HT pro 2011 chain rub

togg

I keep getting chain rub, when in the large front ring and smallest rear rings, ie the hardest gears to pedal in.

should I not be able to use the last 3 gears, can anyone show me on this bike in pictures or video what to adjust to cure this problem, its only minor but I can feel and just about hear it rubbing.

Oh and the front right hand side shifter broke after 2 weeks...been replaced by halfords

I assume you mean it is running on the front derailleur?

Is it at the limit of its outwards travel? If so you need to adjust the limit screw.

A little bit on the front mech is common.

Have a look at this thread... pretty much the same question, and the same answer! Yes you should be able to use these combinations - only big-big (F-R) and small-small (F-R) should rub if at all, and these should be avoided as the chainline is all wonky.

But Park Tools is what you want for the How To Guide.
