My limit screws are maxed out and I’m wondering what the issue could be. Is it just that the derailleur doesn’t suit the crank?
Good Morning and welcome to the forums. It sounds odd that the limit screws are "maxxed out". and the source of the problem could be a few things. If your unfamiliar with bicycle maintenance I strongly recomend taking this to a shop for a good tuned and safety inspection.
There is a safety feature that keeps you from posting pics and links right away but you should be able to upload them to your gallery/album and we can see them
