Hi guys,

I wonder if anyone can give me some tips adjusting/fixing my weekend bike front Derailluer. It's a Shimano Acera on an Avanti Atomic. I've tried adjusting the low and high screws but it's not working, I've also tried to increase the tension on the gear cord but no luck. The problem is, I can't seem to get the derailluer to get to gear 3. I think the bike meant to have 3 front gears but as far i can remember I dont think i have ever seen it shifted to the biggest gear even tho the shifter is on 3.


p.s I am no pro rider and i didnt know any better when I bought it and now it's too late for warranty

My bike is really old but all you have to do is release the gear cable by unscrewing one screw and then tighten or loosen it until it is the perfect tension.

releasing or tightening the tension didnt work. Maybe i'll just have to take it apart and redo everything one day.

i am surprised not many ppl here ride their bicycle.
