This is where you read the referenced instructions at least 3 times while looking at the mechanism on the bike. Looking
at several videos on youtube is also helpful. There was a thread a month or so ago about this in general. My experience
with the essentially identical FD7000 was that despite doing this 3x and asking a local mech to check my results (all
basically to the exact Shimano instructions) the FD is noticeably harder to upshift than prior 6500 series FDs. Others
chimed in with similar results, but some felt the effort was not much different from prior series Shimanos. YMMV.
The reason for this difference in experience is unclear at present. FWIW this was with a new cable and the only (new)
housing was that needed to go from brifter to head tube, the rest of the cable is bare. Also using the complete 7000
group in this rebuild except for an FSA 48-32 chainset. Seems unlikely this would affect the brifter shift effort
