65OWNER’S MANUAL
FRICTION GEAR SHIFT LEVERS
Friction levers are ‘stopless’ and hold the
derailleur in place with simple force (tension). The
amount of friction can be adjusted by means of
the screw on top of the lever assembly.
If derailleur gears on your bicycle are indexed,
each time you move the gear lever one click
the derailleur travels a set distance to engage
the next gear. This enables you easier and more
accurate gear changing.
WARNING
Pedalling backwards whilst changing gears can jam the
chain causing damage to your bicycle and / or a crash.
