Lubrication
All the pivoting points of the front and rear derailleurs should be
lubricated with light oil at least every month. Be sure to wipe off any
excess oil to prevent attraction of dirt into the mechanisms. The shifting
cables should be cleaned and re-coated with a thin layer of grease every
six months, or whenever new cables are being installed.
Adjustment - Rear Derailleur
The Low limit screw determines how far the rear derailleur will travel toward the
wheel of the bicycle, while the High limit screw determines how far the cage will
travel toward the frame.
Shift the rear shifter to the largest number indicated, disconnect the rear 1.
derailleur cable from the cable anchor bolt and place the chain on the
smallest sprocket.
Adjust the High limit screw so the chain and the smallest sprocket are 2.
lined up vertically. Remove any slack in the cable by pulling it taut, then re-
connect the cable and tighten the cable anchor bolt securely.
Shift up through the gears making sure that each gear is achieved quietly and 3.
without hesitation. If noise occurs, use the barrel adjuster to fine-tune the cable
tension. Turning the barrel adjuster clockwise will decrease cable tension
and allow the derailleur cage to move farther away from the bicycle in small
increments. Turning counter-clockwise will increase cable tension and bring
the cage closer to the bicycle. This will micro-adjust the positioning of the
derailleur cage in relation to the freewheel. Simply put; turn the barrel adjuster
the direction you want the chain to go.
Shift the chain onto the largest sprocket; adjust the low limit screw so the chain 4.
and the largest cog are lined up vertically. If you are unable to get the chain to
the largest cog, turning the Low limit screw counter-clockwise will enable the
chain to move towards the wheel.
Shift through the gears ensuring each gear is achieved quietly and without 5.
hesitation.
NOTE: It may take several adjustments to achieve the desired positioning.
