I'm going to buy some blue loc-tite tomorrow because the limit screws aren't exactly snug. The high limit screw in particular seems like it could easily vibrate itself out of position. After I set the screws in place I'm going to try and let off the cable tension a bit to see if that helps at all.
i guess i should consider myself lucky to have a cheapo rival front derailleur with my red!
