Please pay attention to the following points::::
•
Do not stop pedalling when changing gear, but reduce the power used to pedal while you change
gear.
•
After cycling in the rain, mud, etc., you should clean the moving parts of the gear system and lubricate
them.
•
Do not change gear across the entire chainset or sprocket at once.
•
Never change gear when pedalling backwards (reverse). This could cause the chain and derailleur to
lock.

Gear selection::::
•
The right gear lever (or grip shift) changes the gears on the rear sprocket.
•
The left gear lever (or grip shift) changes the gears on the chainset (if the bike has them).
•
Various combinations of sprocket and chainset determine the choice of gear. As soon as you gain
more experience changing gear, you will recognise the gear most suitable for specific cycling
conditions.

The derailleur is equipped with limit screws which limit the range of movement of the derailleur and
prevent the chain from falling off the smallest or largest chainset.

1. Change gear so that the chain rests on the smallest chainset and the
biggest sprocket. The gear change cable should not be pre-
tensioned.
2. Turn the regulating screw in direction A or B so that the distance
between the internal chain guide and the chain is 0.1 to 0.5 mm.
