Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Chain rubbing on derailleur at trim possition

The Shimano Sora 2x front derailleur on my bike, rubs the chain at its front. How do I fix that. My bicycle has just 150Km. Could that be the tension of the cables?

Fixed that by fine tunning of the tension by turning the barrel enough to clear less than a mm on the front-outer plate of the derailleur and the chain. Rubbing is now gone!
