Initial setup of front derailleur
The gap from the top of the teeth to the bottom of the dérailleur should be between 1mm and 3mm. Obviously they should be parallel to each other.
With an appropriate screwdriver move the H (high) to make the gap line up with the outer ring when you pull at it.
There's a little plastic jobby the comes-with to stop the beasties spring pulling the lot over the inner ring. It is really helpful so I leave it in to do the high ring.
This white plastic thingy.
I take it out to adjust the L (low) screw.
Sorry, didn't take a picture of that, as my hand was otherwise occupied holding a beer.
