DERAILLEUR
Although the front and rear derailleurs are inially adjusted at the factory, you will
need to inspect and readjust both before riding the bicycle.
Rear Derailleur
Begin by shiing the rear shier to largest number indicated and place the chain on
the smallest sprocket. Adjust the High limit screw so the guide pulley and the smallest
sprocket are lined up vercally. Reconnect the cable, pull out any slack, and reghten
the anchor bolt securely. Shi through the gears, making sure each gear achieved is done
quietly and without hesitaon. If necessary, use the barrel adjuster to ne tune each
gear by turning it the direcon 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.
Shi the rear shier to the gear one and place the chain on the largest cog. Adjust the
Low limit screw in quarter turn increments unl the guide pulley and the largest cog
are aligned vercally. Again, shi through each gear several mes, checking that each
gear is achieved smoothly. It may take several aempts before the rear derailleur and
cable is adjusted properly. (Fig. 3.42, 3.43)
Ensure all bolts are secured ghtly and the chain does not fall o in
either direcon.
