Yes! I'm having lots of trouble adjusting the v3 FD. Even with the limit for the small chainring set to 1, there's cage rub when in the largest cog at the rear.

I'm using a carbon fiber crankset (Leese with 24mm titanium spindle), and though I haven't measured the chainline very precisely, I think it's pretty close to standard Shimano 11s (43.5mm) or 12s (44.5mm) chainline. I'm planning to experiment with some spacers, and I'll report back with any findings.

Issues with using a spacer :
- you will make your qfactor asymetrical, thus you will need a pedal qfactor washer between left pedals and left crankarm if you want to maintain your pedal stance symetrical.
- you arz pushing your chainline to the right, thus crossing big ring with large cogs will be even worse on the chain.

I’m considering trying that as well… even though we should not have to… but it’s far from ideal ! It will take around 1.5mm for me to enter the front derailleur iner limit adjustment with no rubbing… that’s quite a lot.

Not sure if that helps you but Ltwoo just released this video:

Unfortunately no… just like you I saw this video popping up on YouTube yesterday and hoped for a miracle  ;D
Unfortunately I was already on latest firmware and the front derailleur don’t go inside more no matter how I try to adjust it.

Either :
1) ltwoo can allow the front derailleur to go more « in » with a firmware and/or app update.
2) it’s mechanically not possible because of the front derailleur design/construction in which case it’s a whole other issue and it will take an updated new front derailleur to solve the issues to the many users having this issue with a 43.5mm to 44mm crankset chainline.

I find it crazy that a road groupset can’t work with a road crankset. Other than that the groupset is quite nice… but that’s such a bummer  :'(

Hello,
I don’t know if this has been discussed before (sorry if it has and I missed it), but has anybody successfully adjusted front derailleur of ERX V3 with a standard 43.5mm road chainline crankset ?
I now have ERX V3 on two bikes, am very happy with rear derailleur / shifters. But front derailleurs drive me crazy, they won’t go in enough so inner plate always rubs the chain on most cogs when on the front chainring. I’m at the maximum inner limit adjustment both with the app or manually with the press button + shift down button adjustment method.
It seems the front derailleur was designed for 45mm or more chainline… it’s almost like a gravel front derailleur which absolutely makes no sense considering it’s a road groupset with a max rear derailleur capacity for a 32T cassette…
I saw on facebook ltwoo users groupsets this issue is not a « me issue », yet I haven’t seen anyone coming up with a successful solution… so really hoping someone managed to solve the issue here as I’m right now stuck with two bikes not fully functional because of that (I removed an Ultegra groupset di2 on one of the two bikes… so it kills me to have to re-switch everything).

Thanks in advance, fingers crossed there is a trick to allow front derailleur to move more in !!
