Operation Manual

Cycle Derailleur shifting system

6.1.3 Gear combinations

NOTE

Incorrect use of gear combinations.

Risk of damage!

x Never combine the small chainring with the smallest

sprockets

or the large chainring with the largest sprockets.

With incorrect gear combinations, a crossed

chain results in increased wear on the

chainrings, sprockets and chain.

Proper use only allows for certain

gear combinations (see “Illustr.: Gear

combinations”).

x Use the gear combinations in such a

way that the chain runs parallel to the

direction of travel.

x Use the smallest chainring on inclines

and the largest chainring for higher

speeds on flat routes.

x If you are unsure about operating the gear shifting system, have your dealer give

you instructions.

Illustr.: Gear combinations (example)

1 7 sprockets on the rear wheel

2 3 chainrings on the crankset
