Message: >My bike has an Ultegra triple set up (6mos. old). >I can not correctly set the front deraileur adjustment. If large chain ring shifts ok, then it won't shift from the middle to the smallest. If I adjust for good small ring shifting, then it won't completely shift to large. >I tried large rear/middle chain ring combo for adjusting and it didn't work out. Nothing is bent. Any suggestions? I'm going to guess that your CHAIN is the wrong type ... the 9-speed Ultegra requires that the chain-type MATCH the front derailleur-type ... 8-speed chain (e.g., HG-70) with an 8-speed front derailleur AND a 9-speed chain (e.g., HG-73) with a 9-speed front derailleur. So, if you have a "new" 9-speed chain, but did not ALSO change the front derailleur, it won't shift properly.
