Gear adjustments
The factory sets up the gears perfectly, so if ever necessary; we recommend you have a bicycle workshop assist you with the
adjustment of the gears.
Gear Adjustment-all cable-operated Nexus and Alfine 4-, 7-, 8- and 11-speeds:
Adjustment is made with the shifter in 4th gear for the 4, 7- and 8-speed hubs, 6th gear for the 11-speed hub. On the right side of
the hub, just outboard of the sprocket, there is the "cassette joint pulley" which the cable turns as you change gears. Next to this
is the "cassette joint bracket" which is stationary. Both the pulley and the bracket have index marks, and gear adjustment is correct
when the marks on the two parts align with the shifter in 4th gear (6th gear on the 11-speed).
There are two sets of these marks, one on top, the other on the bottom which lets you see one set of marks whether the bike is
right-side up or upside down.
This procedure is the same for the Nexus 4-, 7- and 8-speed hubs, using the 4th gear as the reference. In the case of the 8-speed,
however, the marks you need to line up are yellow, not red.
