hi, i am resurecting this as still having an issue.
in the instructions for the mech it says (or says to me) to install the mech on the inside of the bash i.e.
adjust the height of the frontderailleur so that the outer edge of the bash guard is within the specified range on the Pro-Set gauge. Also adjust so that the flatpart of the outer plate is parallel to the inner surface of the bashguard.

however, if i do this the mech always hits the bash on shift, so i set it higher than the bash so there is about a 1mm gap between the bottom of the mech and the top of the bash
it seemed to shift ok but after on big ride it became really hard to shift, so hard I had to shift it with the palm of my hand (on the lever). however, when not under load the mech shifts fine and the shifter pulls the cable through fine.
i guess my main question is, have i set the mech up wrong and am trying to pull too much cable through i.e. trying to shift it too much making it tough to shift? if so how the heck do i get the mech to sit within the bash?
cheers as always
