ADJUSTING THE DERAILLEUR

Ensure all bolts are secured ghtly and the chain does not fall

o in either direcon.

Although the front and rear derailleurs are inially adjusted at

the factory, you will need to inspect and re-adjust both before

riding the bicycle.

Adjust the Rear Derailleur

❶ Begin by shiing the rear shier to largest number indicated

and place the chain on the smallest sprocket. Figure 4.23

❷ Adjust the high limit screw so the guide pulley and the

smallest sprocket are lined up vercally. Figure 4.24

❸ Shi through the gears, making sure each gear achieved is

done quietly and without hesitaon. If necessary, use the

barrel adjuster to ne-tune each gear by turning it the

direcon you want the chain to go. For example, turning

clockwise will loosen the cable tension and move the chain

away from the wheel, while turning counter-clockwise will

ghten cable tension and direct the chain towards the

wheel.

❹ Shi the rear shier to gear one and place the chain on the

largest cog.

❺ Adjust the low limit screw in quarter turn increments unl

the guide pulley and the largest cog are aligned vercally.

❻ Again, shi through each gear several mes, checking that

each gear is achieved smoothly. It may take several aempts

before the rear derailleur and cable is adjusted properly.
