e) Derailleur adjustment (SRAM X7)

If the chain of your bicycle falls off at the largest COG/sprocket or the chain is having problems remaining on the correct

gear, you may need to adjust your derailleur. There are a multiple ways to adjust your derailleur but for a simple

adjustment on the changing of gears, follow these instructions.

 Located at the shifter, the adjusting knob where the cable enters the shifter will adjust gear shifting. This knob

allows the loosening or tightening of the cable. Rotate this knob clockwise or counterclockwise until the derailleur

is properly changing gears. This is a quick fix but for a correct adjustment, the permanent adjustment should be

at the derailleur cable locking plate and fixing bolt with the shifter knob used for fine tuning.

For a more detailed adjustment of the derailleur, you should bring your bicycle to an authorized Prodeco dealer or a

neighborhood bike shop who services SRAM derailleurs. There is also a SRAM derailleur guide included with your bike.

SHIFTING ADJUSTMENT

Check that the chain and

the rear derailleur are in

the smallest cog position.

While pedaling, twist the

shifter up one detent.

If the chain hesitates or

does not shift to the

second cog, increase the

cable tension by turning

the shifting adjustment

knob counter clockwise.

If the chain shifts beyond the second cog, decrease the

cable tension by turning the shifting adjustment knob

clockwise.

Repeat the two former steps until shifting and cable tension

is accurate.

While turning the crank, shift the chain up and down the

cassette several times to ensure your derailleur is shifting

smoothly.
