Seng gears on a front derailleur
Whilst turning the pedals, set the le hand gear shier to
the lowest gear (smallest cog at the front), and the right
hand shier to the highest gear (smallest cog at the back)
You should check that the chain is running freely through
the cage on the front derailleur without catching. If it
catches you can move the cage by slightly adjusng the ‘L’
screw.
Leaving the le hand gear shier where it is, set the right
hand shier to the lowest gear (largest cog) and repeat
step ‘ii’
Change the le hand shier up one gear. If the gear doesn’t
change smoothly onto the next cog, you can adjust the
cable tension screw. For the front derailleur this is found
either on the gear shier (check which one you have in the
following secon), or on certain road bikes it is found on the
downtube of the frame, just above the gear cable guide.
Turn slightly and keep tesng unl you have achieved the
desired result.
Once the gears are changing correctly shi the le hand
shier on the highest gear and check that the chain cannot
clear the cage and come o the cog over the top. If it can,
you can adjust it by slightly turning the ‘H’ screw with a
phillips screwdriver.
