"We also want to make sure that the height of our derailer when we are shifting to the smallest chambering is we have clearance to shift up and down, nothing hits. We are parallel with the chambering; we can see that if we look from the front we are parallel. Then to make sure that we are not over shifting or under shifting we adjust these limit screws. The one limit screw on the outside, by turning it in, by turning the screw down; we limit how far out the shifter can go as I turn that in a little bit I now shift back out and you can see it doesn?t shift as far and the same thing goes for this inner limit screw it determines how close to the frame the inner part of this derailer cage sits. We set those limits first, then we make sure we have enough tension on our cable which we set first right there. Then most road frames have a barrel adjuster that's built into the frame here that we can turn to adjust our limit screws and we just make sure that we are not within our limit and with our tension that we don't have so much tension that is pops right off. Not something that you should have to mess with if you buy a bike from a bike shop it should come properly adjusted, but if you ever find yourself having to replace something on the fly or if something comes out of adjustment it's good to know how to adjust this."
