ADJUSTING THE DERAILLEUR
Ensure all bolts are secured ghtly and the chain does not fall
o in either direcon.
Although the front and rear derailleurs are inially adjusted at
the factory, you will need to inspect and re-adjust both before
riding the bicycle.
Adjust the Rear Derailleur
❶ Begin by shiing the rear shier to largest number indicated
and place the chain on the smallest sprocket. Figure 4.23
❷ Adjust the high limit screw so the guide pulley and the
smallest sprocket are lined up vercally. Figure 4.24
❸ Shi through the gears, making sure each gear achieved is
done quietly and without hesitaon. If necessary, use the
barrel adjuster to ne-tune each gear by turning it the
direcon you want the chain to go. For example, turning
clockwise will loosen the cable tension and move the chain
away from the wheel, while turning counter-clockwise will
ghten cable tension and direct the chain towards the
wheel.
❹ Shi the rear shier to gear one and place the chain on the
largest cog.
❺ Adjust the low limit screw in quarter turn increments unl
the guide pulley and the largest cog are aligned vercally.
❻ Again, shi through each gear several mes, checking that
each gear is achieved smoothly. It may take several aempts
before the rear derailleur and cable is adjusted properly.
