DETAILED MAINTENANCE

Adjustment – Front Derailleur

1. Shift the rear shifter to the smallest number indicated, then shift the front

shifter to the smallest number indicated. Disconnect the front derailleur

cable from the cable anchor bolt and place the chain on the smallest

chainwheel.

2. Make sure the front derailleur cage is parallel with the outer chainwheel

on the crankset. There must be a 3-5mm gap between the bottom of the

derailleur cage and the top of the outer chainwheel teeth to ensure the

derailleur will clear the chainwheel when shifting.

3. Adjust the low limit screw so the chain is centered in the middle of

derailleur cage. Pull all slack out of the cable by pulling it taut, then

reconnect the cable and tighten the cable anchor bolt securely.

4. Shift the front shifter into the largest gear and pedal the bike so the chain

jumps to the largest chainwheel. If the chain does not shift onto the

largest chainwheel, you will need to turn the High limit screw counter-

clockwise until the chain moves to the largest chainwheel. If the chain

falls into the pedals, the High limit screw has been tuned too far. You will

need to readjust the High screw clockwise in 1/4 turn increments until the

chain no longer falls off.

5. Shift through each gear ensuring all are achieved quietly and without

hesitation.

6. The barrel adjuster for the front derailleur is located on the shift

mechanism. Turning clockwise will decrease cable tension and allow the

front derailleur cage to move away from the bike, while turning counter-

clockwise will increase tension and bring the cage closer to the bike. If

you are experiencing problems shifting between gears, use the barrel

adjuster to fine-tune the cable tension.

NOTE: It may take several adjustments to achieve the desired positioning.
