Wherever the money is.
I just installed a new set of Panaracer Fire FR 2.4 on my Enduro. This is an upgrade from my stock Enduro 2.1. They ride great and all the primary clearance issues (i.e. fork, chainstays, seat stays) looked good with a bunch of room for mud and misalignment. But I missed one thing... the front derailer is rubbing against my back wheel when I throw it in low (smallest chainring). I wonder if there is a fix for this or am I s.o.l. on this one? The LX derailer is starting to wear out and needs to be replaced soon so I wonder if this should solve my problem.

see how far you can turn the lower limit before it won't shift down. also, if it's not too much rubbing, try rotating the derailer outwards a bit if it's not an e-type.
