3. With the FD cable adjuster screwed to it's minimum length and the LH lever set in lowest-gear position, pull the front gear cable pretty much as tight as you comfortably can and secure correctly at the pinch bolt - pay attention to the small shoulder that the cable has to pass over.
Probably being way presumptuous but I adjust inner limit, when in small ring and biggest cog(lowest gear)..so chain just tickles the FD inner plate, THEN attach cable TIGHT, then turn inner limit screw out a wee bit..you get that .5mm clearance plus the front der cable gets tighter..makes for no need for those daffy inline cable adjusters.

Then big ring, smallest cog(highest gear) and the outer limit screw just touching the limit..not cranked down..then you'll get the '3clicks, to big ring'..
