Derailleurs

Gears are usually conrtolled by derailleurs, which are the mechanisms that move the chain up and down the cogs. The rear derailleur is

controlled by the right hand gear shier, and the front derraileur by the le shier.

LIMITER SCREWS

These are marked ‘H’ & ‘L’,

and are sometimes found

in dierent positions on

the derailleur

Turn the pedals and shi the gear on the right hand

gear shier to the highest number / lowest cog.

Look at the derrailleur and the cog and these should

be in line. If this is not the case, then you can adjust

the ‘L’ screw slightly with a phillips screwdriver unl

they are.

Change the shier one posion

and see if the chain moves up

one cog easily. If whilst changing

gears the chain will either not

change cogs, or changes two

cogs at a me, you can adjust

the cable tension screw. Each

derailleur model is dierent, so

we recommend giving it half a

turn one way and tesng and

then adusng accordingly unl

you achieve the desired result.

Now turn the pedals and change the shier to the lowest number and largest cog.

You can now check if the chain and derailleur are in line. If it’s not, or if the derailleur has excessive play towards the

wheel, adjust the ‘H’ screw slightly unl they are in line with no play.
