I set the front deraileur so that there is no more than 2mm clearance between the outer chain ring and the bottom of the front deraileur cage with the outer cage plate parallel to he outer ring, tip to tip as some deraileurs are slightly concave. With the chain on the middle chain ring and in 7th gear adjust the front cable tension, tighter or loosen until the chain is no longer rubbing on the outer cage plate, within a millimeter or less on the middle ring. Then check the travel limits. You should be able to shift into the inner ring in 7th gear and adjust this in as far as you can but then check to make sure it will down shift in the lower gears in back but might have to let it back out slightly so it doesn't rub in lowest gear. Then check outer ring adjust so it doesn't over shift or rub in high gear. If you need more help go to Park Tool.com
