Adjust the chain length. To do this, shift onto the largest cog on the rear and the largest
chain ring in the front. Pull the chain taut, so that the rear derailleur cage is fully
extended. Then add two links. That will be close to the ideal length for the chain. Use the
included Powerlink to hold the chain together.
It's easier to work on a chain under tension if you create a loop of slack and hold it in
place with a stiff, bent wire, made from an old spoke or wire coat hanger. Using a master
link removal tool or needle nose pliers, insert the end of the tool into the Powerlink.
Now squeeze the handle until the Powerlink separates.
Adjust the derailleurs
For adjustment of front and rear derailleur go to www.sram.com/service or it can be
found in any bike maintenance book.
