Set the front derailleur to the smallest
gear. Thread the chain through the de-
railleur cage, around the innermost
front sprocket, and through the EMD
sprockets as shown in photo 16.
You can
use a bent coat hanger to hold the ends of the
chain while you adjust the length as shown in
the photo. (note that the photo shows an dif-
ferent bike. The chain path is the same.) It’s
OK if the tensioner swings more to the rear
when on the smallest front ring as long as the
chain doesn’t strike the mid-freewheel.
Shorten the chain using your chain breaker
and join the ends so that it ends up looking
roughly like photo 16 with the chain on the
smallest front ring.

WARNING:
Use only dry lubricants on all
chains. If you have been using oil to lubricate
your chain, you must either replace it with a
new chain, or clean it thoroughly and switch
lubricants. See Maintenance section.
Step 6: Attach drive sprocket and chain-
guard assembly.
Attach the drive sprocket and chain-
guard assembly to the drive spindle us-
ing 5 M6 x 20mm button head bolts as
shown in photo 17.
Tighten all 5 bolts securely.
