6.1.1 Operating the derailleur gear system
f Do not pedal at all/do not pedal too hard when chan-
ging gear.
f The control element for the rear derailleur pushes the
chain onto the respective sprocket. The smaller the
sprocket, the higher the transmission of the chain.
6.1.2 Wear and maintenance
f Check the derailleur gear system regularly
(→ Chapter 6.1.4 „Checking the derailleur gear system“).
f Have the derailleur gear system serviced by the bicycle
dealer if:
– unusual noises or other problems occur when
shifting gears,
– the chain repeatedly jumps off.
6.1.3 Cleaning and care
f Keep components of the derailleur gear system free of
dirt or clean them regularly to avoid loss of function of
the derailleur gear system.
f Clean the operating elements with a slightly damp
cloth.
f Remove coarse dirt from the chain ring, sprockets and
rear derailleur with a slightly damp cloth or soft brush.
f Grease the chain ring, sprocket and rear derailleur with
universal oil after cleaning.
