CycleHub shifting systems
68
A hub shifting system with a shift box may be installed, depending on the cycle model.
x Check the rear axle of the cycle to see whether a shift box is installed.
1. Adjust the twist-grip control or shift lever
to the middle gear setting. In a 7 or
8-speed system, this corresponds to
4th gear (see “Illustr.: Shift box”).
2. Adjust the adjustment nut so that the
markings on the shift box match up (see
“Illustr.: Shift box”).
3. Check the adjustments with a test ride.
x If you were unable to rectify the mal-
function, have the shift cable tension
adjusted by your dealer.

shift cable casing (left) and adjustment
screw (right)”)
x If there is more than 1.5 mm/0.06"
of play, turn the adjustment nut
anticlockwise.
x Refer to the information enclosed
with the cycle by the shifting system
manufacturer.
x If you were unable to rectify the
malfunction, have the gear shifting
system adjusted by your dealer.
