Adjusting this type of gear shifter is very simple: refer to the specific instructions supplied with this manual.
(SPECTRO SRAM type)
ADJUSTING CHAIN TENSION
For single-speed bikes or bikes with integral gear shifters, you will need to have the chain tension checked (it loosens
over time). Excessive tension can impair performance and reduce its lifespan (hard pedalling).
Insufficient tension can cause the chain to come off frequently. Read the section on single-speed bikes carefully.
A correctly adjusted chain has a maximum vertical travel of 0,39 in (1cm)
.
You adjust the tension by moving the rear wheel forwards or backwards in the frame dropouts.
Refer to the fork and suspension adjustments recommended by the manufacturer; see specific instructions supplied
with this manual.
We recommend that you follow the specific assembly instructions supplied with the accessory.
Warning
• Check with a
b’Twin
retailer that accessories to be fitted to your bicycle are compatible with it.
• Check that all the elements of your bicycle work correctly when the accessory is fitted. The bicycle may respond
differently when accessories are fitted.
• Be particularly vigilant with accessories which may hinder wheel rotation, interact with a suspension frame in full
travel or change the shape of the frame using tightening devices.
• Racing bikes, full suspension MTBs and bicycles only equipped with disk brakes are not designed for child seats.
• The child seat may significantly affect your bicycle's stability. It is not permitted to attach a child seat directly to the
bike's seat post. Check that under no circumstances will any part of the child's body or clothing (laces, safety belts,
etc.) come into contact with any of the bicycle’s moving parts as this may cause injury or an
accident. It is recommended that child seats are fitted to bicycles with protective mud guards
so that the child's feet or hands do not get trapped between the spokes of the wheel.
Similarly, it is best to use a seat cover or a seat with internal springs so that children do not
trap their fingers in the springs.
