Seng gears on a front derailleur
Whilst turning the pedals, set the le hand gear shier to
the lowest gear (smallest cog at the front), and the right
hand shier 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 adjusng the ‘L
screw.
Leaving the le hand gear shier where it is, set the right
hand shier to the lowest gear (largest cog) and repeat
step ii
Change the le hand shier 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 shier (check which one you have in the
following secon), or on certain road bikes it is found on the
downtube of the frame, just above the gear cable guide.
Turn slightly and keep tesng unl you have achieved the
desired result.
Once the gears are changing correctly shi the le hand
shier 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.
