Shift down to the small gear, set the bottom(small gear) limit screw, undo the cable binder bolt, Pull the cable taught, and tighten. Shift to the top of the large gears, and set the limit screw so the chain doesn't fall into the spokes. The musical note the cable produces, really has nothing to do with it? as long as the shifter is all the way forward, and the RD on the small gear when you pull the cable tight, you can't go wrong. on indexed, it's all a matter of finding the right spot for the derailleur to sit while in a given gear. That's what the adjuster is for.,,,,BD
