Front Mech and Chainring Problem
Hello Everyone,
My parnter has started riding in the past couple of months and so I got her a Trek 1000 with a triple chainset. She's been out for a few 25 mile rides, mostly on the flat and she seemed to be getting on alright with changing through the chainring. However we went out on a more hilly ride at the weekend there and the chain would fall off the chainring with changing from the middle to the small ring. It wouldn't do it all the time, maybe once or twice our if 10 times. I moved the low limiter slightly over so it didn't push the chain over so much, but it didn't seem to help.
I'll hopefully be able to take it to the lbs this week, but does anyone have thoughts on what could be wrong? My feeling is that the cable has maybe stretched after a little use, but I expect it could be one of a few things.

The cable won't have stretched. The deraileur just needs setting properly.
With the chain on the inner ring and largest cassette cog, undo the cable
then set the limit screw for the inner ring
re attach the cable get the cable taut but not tight.
Move the chain to the small cog, then pull the cable (under the frame with your hand)while turning the pedal and move the chain onto the outer ring.
then set the limit screw for the outer ring.
