downhll rdng
• The small chan rng produce low gear ratos whle the larger front
chan rng produce hgh gear ratos
• To operate your deralleur gear system efficently and reduce
damage, wear and reduce nose to a mnmum, avod usng the
maxmum crossover gear ratos of large chan rng/large rear
sprocket, small chan rng/small rear sprocket
Note: For postve gear selecton, observe these four precautons
1. change only when pedals and wheels are movng n a forward moton
2. reduce pedal pressure whle changng gears
3. Never back pedal when changng gears
4. Never force the gear levers
Rear Deralleur Adjustments:
Move the shfter all the way forward (toward seat) and wth the chan on
the smallest rear sprocket and largest front sprocket, check for cable
slack at pont “B” . If there s slack, loosen the cable nut or screw, pull on
the cable end wth plers and retghten the cable nut or screw whle pullng
cable taut(tghtenng torque: 5-7N.m or 4-5foot.lbs)
Top Adjustment
Turn the “H” adjustng screw(or top rear adjustment screw) on the gear
mechansm so that, lookng from the rear, the gude pulley s below the
outlne of the top gear.
Low Adjustment
Turn the “L” adjustng screw (or low gear adjustment screw) so that the
gude pulley moves to a poston drectly below the low gear
1. operate the shftng lever to shft the chan from top gear to 2nd gear.
• If the chan wll not move to the 2nd gear, turn the cable adjustng
barrel to ncrease the tenson 1(counter clockwse)
• If the chan moves past the 2nd gear, decrease the tenson
2(clockwse)
2. Next, wth the chan on the 2nd gear, ncrease the nner cable tenson
whle turnng the crank forward. Stop turnng the cable adjustng barrel
just before the chan make nose aganst the 3rd gear. Ths complete the
adjustment Be sure to perform ol mantenance at each part of the transfer
