Everyone seems to have abandoned you, poor Homer.
I myself am poorly equipped to help you, but have tried my very, very best in this little instructional video that I have prepared especially for you:

+1. Based on the bikes I see come through the door, not everyone has a good handle on derailleur setup.
However, I'm at 100% success on doubles and compact doubles, using the method above. Triples, on the other hand, are inherently evil.

and the quads are purely satanic
Seriously bro, what you think of the Yaw front d?
tried it out, pretty neat, abandoned because of compatibility issues and b/c had a commitment to try and work out a 1x10. But my thought was, good lord we are idiots- this is not even "hi-tek".. a ninth grade geometry student could have figured this out 50 years ago- simply make the linkage rhomboid instead of parallelogram shaped. By now all the bugs would be worked out, homer would be at peace along with millions of others etc etc.

I haven't had a chance to play with the Yaw yet. Sounds interesting, though.
But in general observation, SRAM stuff seems less tolerant of mis-adjustment than Shimano.

^ The Yaw FD takes a bit to dial in, but it works. I've got new SRAM RED; lightning fast front shifts, and no chain rub in any combination.

Is definitely cool. Friend and I were just staring at it, shifting it over and over and digging the freaky motion of it. Only reason it not perfect is I was trying to make it work w other crank and chainrings, and SRAM is pretty forward about it being exo specific. I love it though. Really nice work by them.

It's not exo specific it just works better with the new rings. The new rings are definitely a worthy upgrade over the older Red rings.

The old Red rings were, aesthetically speaking, were some of the sexiest chainrings I had ever seen. Aggh! But about as stiff as pizza dough! And about as long-wearing, from what I understand.
When I tried the Yaw I was using the fsa slk rings which are deeply dished and thick, widely separated. I couldnt get full coverage. Even so, it wasnt too bad, just not perfect.
It seems the Yaw would work well with any ring combo that is narrow and flat. I wish I had tried it on the 7900 DA's am using for the 1x10 project. Now that is a chainring.
How I love chainrings.
