How to Properly Set Front Derailleur on Your Mountain Bike
To set the front derailleur on a mountain bike, start by ensuring the derailleur cage is properly aligned with the chainring teeth. Then, adjust the limit screws so that the cage has minimal play but can still move freely between chainrings. Next, adjust the cable tension until the derailleur shifts smoothly between chainrings without any chain rub. Make small adjustments as needed until the derailleur is effectively shifting.
