24.4.2 Adjusting gears
If you cannot shift gears correctly while riding, this may be
due to an incorrectly adjusted shift cable. Find out how to
resolve this issue below. Should you have any questions,
consult your specialist workshop, or have the work done
directly there.
24.4.2.1 Shimano control elements
Regardless of whether you operate the gear shifter on
your bicycle with a gear lever or a twist grip, checking and
adjusting the shift cable is almost identical for both control
elements:
1. Gearlever:Shift the gear lever from 8
th
to 4
th
gear.
2. Twist grip: Turn the grip:
• If you have 7/8 gears, shift from 1
st
to 4
th
gear
• If you have 5 gears, shift from 1
st
to 3
rd
gear.
3. Check whether the yellow marking lines on the bracket
and the ratchet wheel are aligned. There are yellow
marking lines in two places on the gearshift unit. Use
the lines that are easiest to see.

4. Turn the setting screw on the control element until the
marking lines are aligned.

5. On a 7/8-gear bicycle, shift from 4
th
gear to 1
st
and
then back to 4
th
. On a 5-gear bicycle, shift from 3
rd
gear
to 1
st
and then back to 3
rd
.
6. Check whether the yellow marking lines are still
aligned.
24.4.2.2 Enviolotwistgrip
If there is more than 1.5 mm of play in the shift cable, you
should reduce this. Play in excess of 1.5 mm can negatively
inuence the shifting quality, as well as the lifespan of the
shift cables.
1. Turn the setting screws to adjust the shift cable play.
2. Then, pull gently on the shift cables to check the play.
A shift cable play of 0.5 mm is ideal.

24.5 Cleaning and care
You can clean the control elements with a damp cloth.
Coarse dirt can be removed from the gearshift unit and
front derailleur with a soft brush. Use a small, ner brush
and cloth to clean the small components of the shifter more
carefully. Solvents or brake cleaners are not recommended
here, as these also remove grease from points where it is
still needed. It is then advisable to lubricate the individual
components of the gearshift unit with oil.
25. Chain
The bicycle chain is part of the drive. It transfers the torque
which is generated when you step on the pedals to the rear
wheel. The individual chain links are usually made of steel.
There are two basic types of bicycle chain, namely broad
chains for hub gears and narrower chains for derailleurs.
These come in dierent widths, depending on how many
sprockets the cassette used has.
Warnings
Pedelec/S-Pedelec: serious bruising due to accidental
actuation of the On button.
▪ Remove the battery before taking measurements,
setting or cleaning your Pedelec/S-Pedelec.
Serious injury and accidents caused by cracked or
incorrectly tensioned bicycle chains.
▪ Check the chain for signs of wear and correct
tensioning before every trip. Do not ride the
bicycle if the chain is worn, damaged or incorrectly
tensioned. In this case, consult a specialist
workshop.
