Sorry, perhaps I'm not being clear.

This is how I set the low derailleur limit: On the small chainring without the shift cable installed, I down shift into the lowest gear (cog). I then back off low limit screw the front derailleur until there is about .5mm-1.0mm of gap between the inner face of the derailleur and the chain. I then make sure the the shifter is clicked down, my barrel adjustor is about 1/2 a turn out and then install the shift cable.

Now, when shifting up using the st-2200 shifter, the front derailleur completes the shift but retracts about 2mm causing the chain to rub on the inner cage. To trim this, I use the barrel adjustor to pull it further out off the cahin. Drawback is that I create so much tension on the cable that it prevents the derailleur from fully downshifting.
