Front Derailleur Adjustment Screws
I had my *first* ride this year today, and my *first* ride on my new bike.. Was fantastic!
Had one problem though; when I changed from the small chainring to the big one - if I pressed too much on the lever the chain popper over the edge -.-
Have a feeling the derailleur is simply pushing out too far.. Which screw is it again to restrict the *outwards* movement of the derailleur again? Inner most, or outer most?
Its a shim 105
I am asking here because I am too lazy to go out in the garage and check before I ride tomorrow

Thanks Dave!
Saved me the trouble of turning both the screws wildly and randomly to see what difference it makes
it's the outer screw, turn it clockwise to bring it in a bit
