Yes they do. I tried twisted the barral but that only seems to move the derailleur slightly and does nothing to make the shifting easier. Felt under the tube when riding and thetension of the cable is very high. When I was trying to fix the problem I noticed that when the chain was on the smallest ring, there was so much slack on the cable it was hanging. I undone the nut and took the slack off but did not pull the cable hard, just took the slack off.

I did mess around with both limit screws aswell if it makes any didfference.
