RSX technical data
I had found a link to the old Shimano technical bulletins on adjusting the RSX system shifters and derailleurs last week and lost my print outs with the URL. Doing asearch here and on Google has not lead me to the address again. I cannot find anything with links or the instructions I need at Sheldon's site and the Shimano site that is current does not go back to historical data and bulletins.
Does anyone know of the link or another site with the setup and adjustment information and instructions for the 1999 RSX triple FD, RD and brifters? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

The adjustment procedure is the same as for any derailers made in the last 25 years.

Sheldon,
Thanks for the direction. I'll use your link and read up on my components. I like the RSX fine, just want to be educated about them and capable of worling on my C'dale if needed. I appreciate your taking time to answer my querry.

As Sheldon noted, RSX brifters and derailleurs were set up and adjusted just like any of the other Shimano STI groups. So instructions for 105. Ultegra, etc. will apply.

Anywho, Sheldon/s instructions got me through a check out and tune up. All is sweet now with the shifting. Brakes work nice, also. RSX seems to be a really nice group to have and I hope to put many, many miles on the C'dale.
