Setup: Derailleur System
The derailleur system includes a rear derailleur, the shift levers, and the derailleur control cables, all of which must
function properly for smooth gear shifting to occur.
Rear Derailleur
Begin by shifting the rear shifter to largest number indicated, loosen the cable from the rear derailleur cable anchor bolt,
and place the chain on the smallest sprocket.
Adjust the high limit screw so that the guide pulley and the smallest sprocket are lined up vertically. Re-tighten the cable,
pull out any slack, and re-tighten the anchor bolt securely. Shifting through the gears, making sure that each gear is
achieved quietly and without hesitation. If
necessary, use the barrel adjuster to ne tune the cable tension by turning it the direction you want the chain to go. For
example, turning clockwise will loose the cable tension and move the chain away from the wheel, while turning
counter-clockwise will tighten cable tension and direct the chain to the wheel.
