Rear mech ‘B’ adjust
Shift chain to the small chain ring. While turning the
crank, push the rear derailleur inboard by hand to the
largest cog. Hold the rear derailleur in this position while
making the following adjustment. Using a 2,5 / 3 mm
hex wrench to turn the b-adjust screw until the chain
gap equals approximately 6 mm (1/4“) from tip of the
cog to tip of upper guide pulley. While pedalling, release
the derailleur and check the chain gap throughout the
cassette.
Setting the chain gap at this point of your installation
may be considered a rough estimate. Precision index
shifting may require small changes of the b-adjustment
while setting the proper cable tension. Do not use the b-
adjust screw to adjust the rear derailleur to act as a
chain-tensioning device or to prevent chain suck. This
increases the chain gap causing poor shifting
performance.
Shift the chain to the smallest cog. While turning the pedals, move the shifter up 1 click, to the “8” position. If
the chain hesitates or does not shift to the second cog, increase the cable tension by turning the shifter barrel
adjuster counter clockwise. If the chain shifts beyond the second cog, decrease the cable tension by turning the
shifter barrel adjuster clockwise.
Repeat the two former steps until shifting and cable tension is accurate.
It is not enough that the chain should run quietly in each gear, it should also move smartly from one sprocket to
the next, without clattering or jamming.
Now check for smooth changing up through the range, checking one pair of sprockets at a time (8-7, 7-6, etc.)
Make any minor adjustments by turning the shifter barrel adjuster. Finally, check that the chain cannot jump off
the cassette, either on the inside into the spokes, or on the outside onto the dropout. This is adjusted using the
high and low limits screws as shown in section 2.16
Cut the cable off leaving about 3” (75mm) past the cable clamp, and crimp the cable end cover onto the cable
end.
