Nope, not trial and error. Where is it rubbing: FD Front Inside or FD Front Outside?
Go back to the Park Tool site. The basic steps to FD adjustments are (if I remember correctly, and I just did mine 2 days ago, following the process):
Shift into the lowest gears. Set the FD L limit screw. Barrel adjusters almost all in, the FD cable tension will be very low. If not the cable
may not be installed correctly.
Next shift RD to highest (smallest) cog, then go back to the FD.
Set the FD H limit screw by pulling the cable and adjusting until you
just get a good shift without throwing the chain off the outside. Now with minimal barrel tightening you should be able to shift to both the small cog and large chain ring without difficulty.
But answer this first, and get us a picture if you can: Where is it rubbing: FD Front Inside or FD Front Outside?
