2.17 Install and connect the front derailleur
Next, the front derailleur needs to be installed. Its position is determined by the size of outer chainring. Tighten
the supplied M5 bolt lightly so you can adjust the position of the derailleur. The position of the derailleur must be
set so the clearance between the outer plate of the cage and outer chainring is roughly 1 -3mm, when viewed
from the side. When viewed from above, the derailleur cage should be parallel to the outer chainring (not the
middle or inner chainrings). Tighten up the clamp bolt when the derailleur is located correctly.
Thread the front gear cable (left hand shifter) outer casing through the guide on the side of the frame and up
towards the end of the front boom. The front shifter casing is packaged with the handlebars, and it is the longer
one. Thread the inner wire through the outer casing and then through the cable guide tube (chromed noodle).
Pass the cable guide up through the hole on the underside of the front boom, so that it just pokes out of the hole
on the top face of the boom, checking that it is seated correctly.
Pull through any slack cable. While holding the cable taut, turn the shifter through its range of movement to
check the cable moves smoothly and that the cable is properly seated inside the shifter. Clamp the inner wire at
the front derailleur (5-7 Nm, 4-5 ft-lbs).
TIP – make sure the left hand shifter is set to the “L” position in the
indicator window (smallest gear setting) and the cable and outer casing
are located properly in the cable stops.
TIP - Do not trim any cables until you are happy with the various settings of
front boom and gears. The loose end of the cable can be tightly coiled so
that it is out of the way.
2.18 Install and connect the rear derailleur
Fit the rear shifter cable housing over the rear shifter cable (right hand shifter). This is the shorter cable housing
that was packed with the handlebars. Thread the cable housing through the cable guide and into the stop, both
located on the right side of the frame.
Find the bag with the rear derailleur parts in it. Fit the rear derailleur to the rear dropout using a 5mm hex key,
making sure the B-tension adjustment screw doesn’t come into contact with the dropout tab.
