Shimano ultegra 6800 front shifting issues
Moderator: robbosmans
when i upshift on the front it works like a charm, but when i shift down, i need to press on the shifter twice to get it to the inner position, that can't be right? i have tried adjustning, but i don't know if it's normal or not.
or could it be the cable sticking somewhere?

Have you for sure checked cable tension? It's too early for the spring to be blown... if not tension then undo the cable and hold it with your fingers, next shift up and down to see if you feel any friction in the cables. If your frame is externally routed you can also do a visual check quickly.

Weird for sure! You can always clean the derailleur throughly as well if it's dirty just to see what happens?

Whoops, sorry I thought you meant you had to put in big clicks. I have da9000, you get used to it although it was a bit weird coming off Sram.

Check your support screw, and limit screws. Also, is your cable routed correctly?

Something is not adjusted right; I have 6800. When you click then release, the chain should drop onto the inner ring. A further tap will bring the FD all the way inboard. You should be able to shift with that first movement; You have something messed up on your cable alignment; Make sure the cable is routed properly at the attachment bolt of the FD. These FD's have that little "thingy" that needs to be oriented properly based on what angle the cable is coming from the BB area.

thats just what it does, i just thought it neeeded to shift all the way in on the first try, it shifts to the small ring in the first try, then you need to press again to get the front mech to it's inner position.
