Now it's a matter of fine tuning the cable for indexing fronts which is far easier with an adjuster, then fine tuning both limits.
I'm having a hard time understanding this. Regarding the adjusters that you are referring too... I think I have some on the downtube, where downtube shifters would go. I tried messing with them but they didn't seem to do much. There is no adjuster at the shift lever or anywhere else.

When you say "manually bring the FD about halfway between the inner and middle sprocket" I'm not getting that.... Sorry, like I said, I'm new to this sorta thing.
