can anyone explain how to set up the front derailleur, please?
I find it really confusing and can get rid of the rubbing.
1) FD cage on ER9 i really narrow for some reason and when I set up "limits" the chain starts rubbing on the inner plate before i can move the outer plate to required 0.5mm.
2) I can't understand when the derailleur moves to those limit positions? when i change the gear or when I changed the gear, i'm in the hardest gear and click trim?
3) What front derailleur "micro adjusting" means? Whatever I set up it feels like the derailleur ends up in some random positions anyway.
4) I can't undestand how the trim works. When I'm in a big ring I can click trim and it moves the derailleur but where? The micro adjust position that I set up?
5) I also can't untrim which is annoying. I often end up in a situation when the chain rubs, I click trim and it starts rubbing even harder but now that I can't undo it I have to shift in the rear, click trim and then shift back to the gear I was in before.

I've been riding it for 2 days only at this point so maybe I will eventually figure it out but at the moment the way the FD works is a mistery for me.

It's a hard sell when a SRAM 1x TT setup is pretty cheap.

especially as, from what I've seen so far, ltwoo only comes with one set of controls, the inserts for the end of the extension bars. So no shifting while out of the extensions and only compatible with traditional round, "pole" extensions.

Just trading in everything from performance to usability for some cost reduction

i had the same problem but after an update fix that. now doesnt need to go in small gear and back to big . if i press the same bottom again makes trimming depending on what gear it is at

First adjust the FD on the lowest gear adjustment and next the highest gear adjustment. Once that's complete, adjust individual cogs starting from the highest gear in the small chainring. That should be good enough to insure the big chainring will shift well. Make sure your limit screws are properly adjusted as well. I have 2 ER9s and I have both FDs properly setup.

Saying that, I still think the LTwoo FD is the weakest link in terms of design and it just annoys me that there's no skid plate to keep the FD cage from brassing.

when I open front derailleur setup I have a "micro adjust" slider. what does it do? Is it supposed to set the derailleur position for each individual cog in the rear when I use trim? Because I don't think that is what's happening. When I navigate to limit setting and set the limit for the hardest gear and go back, the "micro adjust slider" is now set to whatever was selected for the limit. Now I shift into lower gears in the rear and move the slider until I get rid of rubbing on each cog. Once that's done I try it out and shift through the cassette and it's rubbing on pretty much every cog. When I use trim it moves the fd for some of the cogs in the rear but does nothing for others so it just keeps rubbing. Also that trim position is for sure not what I selected when trying to "micro adjust"
