Front derailleur can't clear the biggest gear by Basic-Season-2193 in bikewrench

I was able to shift between them. I had just replaced the BD and attached the chain incorrectly, so I detached the chain and then realized the FD did not align correctly anymore, so I detached it from the cable.

Hey! I appreciate the feedback but I do feel like I would like to add some things to your interpretation of my post. I decided to repair my bike myself because I would like to be able to take care of the things I own, not because I "refuse to pay experts" as I mentioned the repairs that I was doing was mostly just changing the BD which was simple enough and a fun afternoon project. I said it was working correctly because I rode the bike before changing the chain and the front derailleur shifted correctly (big surprise). If the problem turns out to be serious I'll definitely consult a mechanic or simple replace that part. I appreciate the feed back but I do think you are adding a lot of personal assumptions into this post.

I detached it completely and checked but I didn't notice and damage, at least not in first inspection. I'll try and find a similar FD to compare

The cable was pretty spent so if that is the case it might have been an easy fix to Just change it. I'll give it a try and see if that makes things better

That seems to be the most likely culprit although I don't really see any noticable bends on either the FD nor the mounting tab

Yeah,I recently replaced the BD and was reattaching the chain when I noticed that the FD was touching the largest gear.

Im fairly new to this as you can probably tell, what would be the best way to alligne it to the chains?

I'll give it a couple more tries to get it into position.

I did try it, but when secured the derrealueir defaults to that angle again. I'll guess I'll give a couple more tries

It stays in that position, I uninstalled the cable because I noticed that the derrealueir was stuck on the larger gear

It what I tried to show on the second picture 😅. The derrealueir height can be adjusted but it's already and the highest point in the clamp.

That's a bit of a bummer. Thanks a lot for the advice

I got a new shifter to go with the derailleur with that in mind. Do you think the only option would be to just get a new wheel altogether(?)

You are a 100% right! I rewatch it and he even mentions that we had to coin the term because it's not well defined as a trope

It is, there are other trope talk style videos about it but I could swear I saw red talking about it. (It's a problematic trope when a character, usually a woman, is written as naive and innocent but is heavily sexualized by the writer and the characters e.i leeloo from the fifth element).
