DERAILEUR SYSTEM
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

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.
