the spokes. Position the rear derailleur pulleys in line with the largest cog. Turn the low

gear adjusting screw clockwise until it meets resistance. If you have turned it too far,

the derailleur will move toward the outside of the bicycle. Go through the various gear

combinations. Make sure the chain does not fall off when you shift.

To align the indexing system of your rear derailleur, shift the chain onto the largest front

chainring, and the smallest rear cog. Push the right thumb shift lever to shift the chain

onto the next smallest rear cog. If the chain makes excessive noise or does not shift,

rotate the rear derailleur barrel adjuster counter-clockwise (increasing cable tension) to

align the derailleur pulleys with this second cog. Do this in small increments, until the

system shifts smoothly and quietly. If making this adjustment makes the chain shift to

the third smallest cog, derailleur cable tension is too great. Rotate the barrel adjuster

clockwise until the derailleur pulleys and the second smallest cog is aligned. Go through

the various gear combinations to ensure that the chain smoothly lines up with all the

rear cogs.

To adjust the middle position of the front shifter, shift the chain onto the middle front

chainring and the largest rear cog. Use the barrel adjuster on the front shifter to position

the inner chain guide of the front derailleur approximately 0.5 mm from the chain. Go

through the various gear combinations. Make sure the chain does not fall off when you

shift and that the front derailleur does not rub on any part of the crankset.

If the cable of either derailleur fails the previous inspection, do not ride the bicycle

until the cable has been replaced. To do this, either follow these instructions or take your

bicycle to your Fisher dealer for service. To replace a shift cable, shift the derailleurs so

that the chain is on the smallest front chainring and the smallest rear cog. Note the path

the derailleur cable follows, loosen the derailleur cable clamp bolt holding the bad cable,

and remove the cable through the shifter. Inspect the housings. If they are damaged or

rusty, replace them as well. If you replace any housings, make sure that the pieces are cut

to proper length and of the correct type of housing (use the old pieces as guides) and that

the housing ends are free of burrs; the cable should pass freely through these ends. Apply

synthetic grease or similar lubricant to the new cable and feed it through

the lever and all of the cable guides and housings, and the cable clamp following the

same path as the old cable. After you have done this, follow the directions for derailleur

adjustment and cut the cable so no more than 2 inches (51 mm) of cable length extends

beyond the cable clamp bolt. To prevent fraying of the cable end, crimp on a metal cap or

apply some solder to the end of the cable.
