Differnce in shim amount in 105 and tiagra derailleurs?
I just replaced my Tiagra front derailleur with a 105 front derailleur, both are double but I am finding it a little more difficult to adjust the 105. The Tiagra seems to have 3 shim settings but it seems that the 105 has 4 shim settings which seems to be a little too much because when shifting to the large chainring the chain shifts right over it. I've tried using the high-lower adjustment screws but have not had much luck.

I have an article on Derailer Adjustment https://sheldonbrown.com/derailer-adjustment that should help you fix this problem.
