66 OWNER’S MANUAL
THE GEAR SHIFT PRINCIPLE
The right hand lever operates the rear gears. The left hand
lever operates the front chain ring shifter.
WARNING
Avoid riding with the chain on both the largest front chain ring and
the largest rear cog, smallest rear cog and small chain ring. This
puts excessive strain on the chain and can damage derailleur parts
When shifting through a wide range of gears, you
may notice a noise as a result of the chain rubbing
on the inside of the front derailleur cage.
This noise can be eliminated by moving the gear
lever (friction systems) or adjusting the gear cable
(indexing systems.)
