Thing is Like shimano brifters throw the chain sideways twice for a triple,
once for a double .. no fine tuning after that. cage shape is their solution

the left friction bar end lets the rider fine tune the FD cage so the chain
does not drag on the FD cage, what ever the gear in back, chosen, is.
