Operation
Front Derailleur Adjustments
These instructions describe most adjustments that the shift system may need. If you can
not adjust the shift system using these instructions, have a bicycle service shop do the
adjustments that are needed.
The Handlebar Twist Grips (or
Thumb Shifts) (View
1
) control
the Shift System. The Left Side
A
shifts the chain on the front
sprockets (View
2
). The Right
Side
B
shifts the chain on the
Rear Sprocket (View
3
).
The front derailleur (View
2
)
has two adjusting screws. The
“low” adjusting screw, some-
times marked
L
, limits how far
the front derailleur and chain
can move toward the frame. The
“high” adjusting screw, some-
times marked
H
, limits how far
the front derailleur and chain
can move away from the frame.
Put the “low” adjusting screw
L
in the correct position as
follows:
• Shift the chain onto the
third largest rear sprocket
and the smallest front
sprocket.
• Turn the lever Barrel Ad-
juster
C
all the way IN.
• Loosen Nut
D
of the cable
clamp.
• Turn the “low” adjusting
screw
L
so the left inside
edge of the chain cage
E
and the chain
F
just do
not touch.
• Remove the slack from the cable wire and tighten Nut
D
securely.
