Operation

Shift System - continued

CAUTION: Do not force the shift lever. Shift only when pedaling forward and

without strong force. Do not backpedal. Backpedaling can cause the chain to come o the

sprockets. Backpedaling and shifting while not pedaling can damage the sprockets and

stretch the cable wire.

There is no “correct gear” in which to ride the bicycle. The “correct gear” is the one that is

comfortable to you.

To select a gear while riding (this model has only one Front Sprocket

) ( g B ).

1. While pedaling, shift the chain onto di erent rear sprocket.

2. You will feel a di erence in the rhythm and ease of pedaling.

3. Shift the chain to the gear that allows you to pedal at a rhythm and e ort that is com-

fortable to you.

4. When riding uphill or against the wind, you may wish to shift the chain onto a larger

rear sprocket

Rear Derailleur Adjustments

The rear derailleur has two adjusting screws. The “low” adjusting screw, sometimes marked

, limits how far the rear derailleur and chain can move toward the wheel. The “high” ad-

justing screw, sometimes marked

, limits how far the rear derailleur and chain can move

away from the wheel.

g C

Put the “high” adjusting screw in the correct position as follows ( g D):

• Shift the chain onto the smallest rear sprocket. Loosen Nut

of the cable clamp.

• Turn the lever Barrel Adjuster

and rear Derailleur Adjustor

all the way IN ( g C ).

• Turn the “high” adjusting Screw

so the Jockey Roller

is in line with the outside

edge of the smallest rear Sprocket

• Remove the slack from the cable wire and tighten the Nut of the cable clamp.
