Clamp tight. As with SRAM’s shifting kit featured last month, pay attention to lever offset.
Avoid pointing the lever body inwards, which would reduce the amount of offset and increase the possibility of the lever running out of travel and striking the bar.

Make sure you can lock up the wheel before the lever comes into contact with the handlebar. Kinky business Any type of sharp curve or bend put into the cable will be felt through the shifting system, and can cause delayed shifting response and inaccurate gear selection, so Shimano has included a groove which solves this. Notice the protruding cable end – the derailleur cable insert hole is located underneath the lever body, about midway. Before threading, return the cable carrier barrel to its starting position by tapping the release paddle several times; this will line up the cable anchor seat with the opening in the lever body. A small cover on each lever can be removed, as pictured below, to improve access to cables and the shifter mechanism, or aid in threading the cable through.

Adjust top screws Set your high and low gear limit screws by eyeballing the position of the jockey wheels relative to the largest (low) and smallest (high) cogs. The upper jockey wheel should line up directly underneath the respective gear, as pictured. On Shimano units the high screw (marked H) is placed above the low screw (marked L).
This tends to be the rule on most of their mechs, both front and rear. Ensure the screw is fully butted, preventing any further travel beyond the desired position. Set your front derailleur so that it just clears the chain in the big ring and small cog, with about a 1 or 2mm gap for the outer edge of the cage, and just barely touching the inside of the cage in the small ring and large cog. To B or not to BAs with all rear derailleurs, the accuracy and crispness of shifting response will depend on how closely the upper pulley tracks the cogs.
