Hurts. Requires Money. And is nerdy.
New bike time.derailleur works fine, I can actually see the cable slip when i pull the lever.

Yep sorry, clamps under a half circle washer. FD is gRX600, the idea of that is there is a grub screw that puses another piece to turn the washer thereby tensioning the cable. right not though anything i do it just slips out.You didn’t answer the Q though.
I’ve had that little clamping plate bend, and not hold the cable. Don’t know about FD’s and yours particularly, but I did up mine with the plate not seated straight once, and it bent it.Yep sorry, clamps under a half circle washer.

Cheers, I'll have a look. But take your point that if it's stuffed, probably time to ditch it. Even on a gravel bike it's a bit pointless having a double so long as it can clear the granny range.I’ve had that little clamping plate bend, and not hold the cable.

Probs not yours issue...but worth checking.
But still offensive?Got an old tube @Calvin27? You could cut a tiny piece and get it in there to act as a squeeze on the cable.
Roadies with a 1x set up are a lot less offensive.
Put a pic up, sounds weird like something is on arse about.Cheers, I'll have a look. But take your point that if it's stuffed, probably time to ditch it. Even on a gravel bike it's a bit pointless having a double so long as it can clear the granny range.
GRX and the related family of road front derailleurs can be a bit temperamental to set up. Start by winding the Low limit screw in to push the derailleur out until the outer face of the cage aligns with the outer face of the big ring teeth. Adjust the support screw (through the derailleur body and resting against the frame or hanger) so the cage is parallel with the rings. Next wind the adjuster screw out so you can push the adjuster pusher arm thing all the way in, and, crucially, turn the rotary clamp assembly clockwise so it's located against the end of the pusher. If it's not, it will pull around and detension the cable on the first shift.Yep sorry, clamps under a half circle washer.

Yeah did it the way you describe. The threads seem to be ok and tighten and lock on, the tension screw and mechanism seem to work as well. All looks good and working when on low limit but as soon as i shift to the big ring, cable slips.If after all that it's still pulling through the clamp, it's likely the thread in the derailleur body which the clamp assembly screws into is stuffed; it's not very deep so can be prone to stripping if mistreated.
As long as caliper and rotor are on tight you should be fine, though underperforming brakes may be a risk to your personal safety.Rear brake is mildly juddery when I get to about half pressure. Ive got to pull the bike apart at the end of May for moving and don't have a lot of spare time until then.
Am I going to cause any major damage on my weekly totter along the river or should I be fine.
I've re-aligned the calipers but cannot afford the time to troubleshoot further. I think maybe rotors are contaminated.
What the heck? On-topic response... No sarcasm... No easily-missed joke that can be dangerously misinterpreted... Who are you and what have you done with Pink Poodle!?!As long as caliper and rotor are on tight you should be fine, though underperforming brakes may be a risk to your personal safety.
If the rotor is contaminated so are the pads.
Have you got a picture of it? It took me a few goes to get my R8000 FD working right - including some cable slipping too - and it came down to cable routing... the little tension adjuster plate thing is a real PITA.Yeah did it the way you describe. The threads seem to be ok and tighten and lock on, the tension screw and mechanism seem to work as well.

I am thinking of trying some carbon paste on the cable or something but fear this might make it a bigger problem and polish the surfaces.
I think I’ve got about 6. 2 FF and 4 OF.How many riders have one or more helmets as a backup in case they crash?
In other words, you're prepared to crash more than most.I think I’ve got about 6. 2 FF and 4 OF.
