I know how to adjust derailleurs, when I said fiddle I meant that I would work with it to try and tune it in, not that I would just arbitrarily turn the barrels and limit screws. Thanks for the advice.
One thing that I did want to know; however, was would I be able to say take of my current crankset and install a new one if I wanted to, on my own or would special tools be needed that would probably require me taking the bike to my LBS?
