Remove the shift wire from your front derailleur (document how it was routed so that you can get it back right) and then follow this procedure from the beginning, without skipping any steps as if it was a new insatallation: Front Derailleur Adjustment | Park Tool


Since many steps depend upon the previous ones being done correctly, do not go ahead until you are sure the current step has been done right. Take you time and make adjustments gradually, lest you go past the sweet spot. 1/4 or 1/8 turn or less can make the difference between great shifting and so-so. Do not leave too much clearance when setting the low limit or you may run out of throw on the other end. You are fortunate in that your adjustments are probably close, but fiddling with things without a plan is a recipe for failure. You may not be able to avoid some rubbing in the extreme cross-chained gear combinations.
