Hello, first time posting on a forum but I have used this a few times to help me repair bits and pieces on my bikes.


However, I have a problem with a bike I cant get to the bottom of or find a relevant thread about. My gears (11 speed ultegra) were working okay ready for my first race of the year in a few weeks, but I noticed my front derailleur was rubbing slightly when in my hardest gear (big cog on front and lowest gear of my rear cassette) so thought I would adjust the limit screws slightly to prevent the rub and annoying noise.


When I did this, I realised my limit screws didn't seem to be moving the derailleur at all. With the chain then on the inner ring and lowest gear, I tried to adjust and still nothing. I then made a decision to play with the cable tension which proved to be a big mistake. After disconnecting it, I tried the limit screws again and seemingly nothing happened. I then decided to move the limit screws back to their original position and reconnect the cable. However, I then realised that my shifter then would then not make the derailleur move at all. I'm probably doing something stupid, but the cable is seemingly a similar tension to before I disconnected it, but using the shifter seems to be having no effect at al on the derailleur, not moving even a smidge. Anybody come across this before? and any solution other than taking it to a bike shop? As funds are not at a good place at this moment in time!


Cheers
