Shimano GRX FD-RX810 Front Derailleur (2 x 11 Speed) (Braze-On)
Read the manual! All the way through! Twice! And Google up a tutorial on newer Shimano front derailleurs. (Apparently the latest Ultegra, 105 & probably others are the same design.)
This is NOT your younger brother's front derailleur. If you just slap it on and try to wing it, things may go badly.
The H adjustment screw does not set an outer stop - it behaves the opposite! The more you tighten, the farther the plates go out. If you monkey around with cable tension to gain more outer travel, you might mess up some delicate machine threads. (Don't ask me how I know...)
Taking off the previous generation Ultegra unit, I admired its elegant simplicity and wished this newfangled GRX were more like that.
But, once you get through the learning curve, I suppose it is somewhat user friendly. For all the complication, you do get easier shifting action.
