To properly adjust the tension of the front derailleur cable on your bicycle, start by shifting the chain onto the smallest chainring in the front and the smallest cog in the rear. Loosen the cable anchor bolt and adjust the tension using the barrel adjuster until the derailleur cage is aligned with the chainring. Retighten the cable anchor bolt and test the shifting. Fine-tune the tension as needed until the shifting is smooth and precise.
