ADJUSTMENT OF THE GEAR SHIFTER
An incorrectly adjusted derailleur can damage the gearshift. For adjustments of the derailleur, contact your
dealer.
The derailleur on the BEN-E-BIKE was carefully adjusted before shipment. Within the first few kilometres,
however, the shifting cable can lengthen, making the switching operations imprecise. The chain climbs reluctantly
on the next larger sprocket on the cassette.
•
Tension the shifting cable with the adjusting screw, through which the cable runs into the gearshift lever.
•
After each tightening, check whether the chain properly climbs to the next larger sprocket. To do this, you
have to turn the cranks by hand.
•
If the chain climbs slightly, you will need to check if the chain will still move easily to the smaller sprockets
when downshifting. It may take several attempts before you'll find the right adjustment.
ADJUSTING THE END STOPS SCREWS
To avoid that the chain or the derailleur runs into the spokes or that the chain falls from the smallest sprocket, the
pivoting range of the derailleur is limited by so-called end stop screws. These are properly adjusted ex works and
typically do not need any readjustment.
