How to adjust my front derailer
Hello
Can someone tell me how you adjust the front derailer on my bike please? The chain slightly catches and so I can hear it rattling along as I'm peddling. My issue is I cannot see a high or low screw anywhere on this derailer. It's a Shimano 105 group set on my specialised Roubaix 2018 bike.
Your advice would be much appreciated

Are you aware of the trim function on the 105 shifters? There are actually 4 clicks in the front mech shift lever designed to minimise the noise. Does it only happen in the biggest and smallest cogs?
Also a general word of advice on fiddling with it - start with quarter turns on the screws, tolerances are pretty tight on 11sp. A torch helps with eyeballing clearance between the chain and the cage.
The instruction manual is here
You adjust it with a hex wrench, so if you were looking for screws you might have missed them.
Thank you, Tom.
