RSX front double brifter adjustment
This brifter I am having issues adjusting has 3 positions. Small ring, trim, and big ring.
Which position do you have the trim on? Small ring with small rear cogs or big ring with big cogs? If you click the downshift once do you go to the small ring or do you need both clicks to drop it?

I've always biased my STI doubles to the big ring, so my "trim" is big/big.
1. I spend a lot more time on the big ring, so I want the range there, and the lack of noise.
2. Often, I'm too lazy to switch to the small ring, hence the need for big ring flexibility.
3. My time on the small ring is generally climbing, so the chain line is "tight inside," doesn't need trim.
4. My only RSX was a triple, so a moot point.

My set were for triples. Are we sure they were made for doubles?

Ok, treating it as a triple with one useless position has solved the problem. Doh.
