If not and you are physically hitting the outer limit screw of the FD then the shifting mechanism will bind
I’ve played around with this multiple times and tried to get it like you describe. Unfortunately, it is being most stubborn. The upper trim click is
empty. I mean, I can feel a half click ever so slightly but it doesn’t move the derailleur cage over any. So I’m totally unable to get anywhere near the big/big combo (or the 7th or 8th cog) on my 9 speed cassette.
