Mea culpa. I gave you the set up for the RD barrel adjuster, the FD barrel adjuster should be screwed all the way in, and has less adjustment range than the RD adjuster. Sorry for confusing the two, and you. The FD barrel adjuster is used to take up slack that develops after a few hundred miles, cables always stretch a bit. The FD adjustor has several (3) click stops, use the one that doesn't add any cable tension. As I noted, the cable should be set up for no slack when the chain is on the smallest CW and the cage positioned as per the Park photos when the chain is on the small CW and largest cassette cog. That is the starting position for the shifter system. Steve
