"So once you get your inner limit, which, let's see, I'll look on this derailer. I believe the inside one is the inner limit. You can test that by turning it. Yep you can see when I turn this out or in, it moves that inner limit. So that?s the inner limit adjust on my derailer. They're different on different models and different manufacturers. Do be afraid to you know, just play with things a little bit. Just always when you make changes remember what you did and go back to those changes after you've done them.
