just installed a new sram x-9 rear derailleur and a shimano xt e-type front mech this is the first time ive done this my self, Ive also renewed the inner cables for both, im just abit unsure as to how much cable tension should both have because when im going into about 4th gear the chain is like a piece of spaghetti lol if i can get the tension correct i can start messing with the high and low settings unless this needs to be done first. thx
