Bikes: Workswell WCB-R-066 Ultegra 6800, LOOK 675 Light Ultegra Di2

Adjusting FD yet again

So, today, I replaced the FSA Gossamer crankset and MegaEXO BB with a Shimano Ultegra 6800 crankset and BB.

This was my first time taking apart everything on this bike and it was fun. Getting the pedals off and the BB off was a bit hard, but a bit of WD40 and light mallet worked well.

The noises I heard on the small chain wheel with the FSA crankset are non-existent with the Ultegra crankset. The rest of the drivetrain is Ultegra 6600 with a 10sp 12-25 cassette.

Now, there is only one problem, the FD cage rubs the chain on the big chain wheel while on the smallest 2 cogs. Loosening the H stop does nothing. It is definitely a cable tension issue. When I tug the cable gently with my finger, I see the cage move to the correct position.

Since all cables are routed internally on a Cervelo S1, there is no barrel adjuster for the FD. My only choice seems to be to pull the cable to increase tension. Am I missing anything else or do I just go ahead and do it?

Thanks, V
