Shift the chain onto the smallest front chainring and largest rear cog
Loosen the front derailleur cable anchor bolt
Set the derailleur cage height so the outer plate sits 1–3 mm above the large chainring teeth
Align the derailleur cage parallel to the chainrings
Tighten the derailleur clamp bolt securely
Turn the low-limit screw until the inner cage plate sits just clear of the chain on the smallest ring
Reattach the cable with light tension and tighten the anchor bolt
Shift to the middle or largest rear cog and check for smooth movement onto the next chainring
Use the barrel adjuster to add or reduce cable tension until shifting is crisp
Turn the high-limit screw until the outer cage plate sits just clear of the chain on the largest chainring
Shift through all front gears and fine-tune cable tension as needed
Check for chain rub in each gear combination
Readjust limit screws and cable tension if the chain overshifts, hesitates, or rubs
Test ride and make final small adjustments if necessary
