Install the derailleurs
Install the front derailleur on the derailleur post. Line up the derailleur cage with the
chain rings and position the curve of the derailleur cage so that it clears the big chain
ring by about 2mm (1/8”). There should be a small plastic guide taped to the cage to
assist you in this. Install the rear derailleur by bolting it in place.
Route the shifter cables
Cable guides have been provided on the boom and rear chain stay. The actual routing
is not important, as long as sharp bends are avoided. The recommended routing for the
left side (front derailleur cable) is to run the cable between the seat brace and the seat
mesh (not yet installed) from behind before running it forward. Likewise, run the rear
derailleur cable between the seat brace and the mesh from the front. For Dumont, route
rear derailleur cable through p-clamp installed on idler pulley. For reassembly of
secondary pulley assembly refer to pg. 35. For installation of the cables at the
derailleurs is similar to the installation on the brakes. Put a ferrule on the end of each
cable housing. Thread the cables into the derailleurs, pull them taut, clamp them down,
trim and seal the ends. Before you clamp the rear derailleur cable in place, screw the
barrel adjuster on the derailleur in as far as it will go, then back it off 1 to 1-1/2 full
turns. Note that there is no adjuster on the front derailleur.
