[Closed] 2 x 9 Front Mech Set-Up

change the chainline using spacers at the BB?

Probably because you are missing a 'ring' off the front?

But +1 on BB spacing - although you may need some 'custom' widths to get a really right.

sounds like you may have inadvertently turned the [url= http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/front-mech-confused ]parallel limit screw[/url]

[b]BE VERY CAREFUL!![/b]

there are three limit screws, the high limit, the low limit and the parallel limit. Its the parallel limit screw that you need to watch out for as even the smallest fraction of a turn adjusts the very fabric of the space time continuum, Sadly there is no standardized position (often it is installed in the place of the low or high limit screw) nor would it have any identification markings . The only way of telling if you have adjusted the parallel (dimension) adjustment screw is that everything that used to work has now been plunged into malfunctioning disarray and you will personally be experiencing feelings of confusion, desperation, anxiety, impotence, panic accompanied by a tendency to walk in circles. Sadly once the Parallel screw has been adjusted this can also alter its very position swapping with ether or both the high and low adjustment screws. The only proven method to rectify any incorrect parallel adjustment is a bit of a sit down with a cup of tea accompanied by a large slice of "try again later".

LOL

Will have another go tonight, got to be sorted as want to ride it at D2D. But looking at the rain forecasted the singlespeed may be a better option!

If you're still losing the chain over the outer ring you may need a longer stop screw so you can adjust it further in.

Fiddle with outer limit screw and cable pull and you'll find the sweet spot. Took me a while to get it set just right.

have you got the height correct? i find (with 22 36 and a standard triple mech) you need to raise the mech from were it would be on a 44, to line the middle indentation for a 32T ring up with the 36T.
