Front Derailleur Limit Screw Question?

  • Howcome when I turn the limit screws on my 2012 Shimano 105 5700 front derailleur nothing happens? The derailleur won't move even when I push it slightly or shift the front ...show more

  • Answer:

    Limit screws only provide the stopping points at the inner and outer positions of the derailleur. If the shift cable is set up wrong it can limit the derailleur movement before it gets to the limit stop. On the "L" low limit screw the cable needs to be slack. On the "H" screw pull on the cable to make sure the derailleur is all the way out.

they only do anything at the --limit-- they set how far the chain can move left or right they dont; actually --move-- anything well they can if the der is AT the limit and you turn the screw wle

Limit screws are only that. They limit how far the derailleur can move. It is the action of the shifter that moves the cable that moves the derailleur. If the cable doesn't move, the derailleur won't move. If the cable isn't moving when you shift, there is something wrong with the shifter. If the shifter isn't working it is a warranty issue. The shop that sold you the bike should fix it free of charge
