Note: before doing the next section you will
need to have set the boom length as described
in section 2.13. Twist the right hand rear shifter
to the “1” position so that the rear derailleur
lines up with the largest rear sprocket. Twist
the left hand front shifter to the “H” position so
that the front derailleur lines up with the largest
front chainring.
At the front of the trike, pull the top chain
through the top chain tube. Pass the chain
through the front derailleur cage, around the
large chain ring and then connect it to the lower
return chain at the front using the quick connect
link. Remove the ‘R’ pin from the top chain.
Move the chain through the tubes so that the
unconnected end of the chain at the top at the
back is the longer one.
Set the chain to length by removing a section of
chain from between the rear derailleur and the
lower chain tube. Work out how much chain
to remove by taking the end of the chain from
the rear derailleur and pulling it tight so that
the cage of the derailleur is under maximum
tension.
Move the chain through the tubes so that the
unconnected end of the chain at the top at the
back is the longer one.
At the back of the trike, checking that the chain
is not twisted inside the chain tube, (Twist it all
the way in one direction then all the way in the
other direction then bring it back to the middle.)
thread the top chain down over the largest cog
of the cassette and through the derailleur.
Split the chain with a chain rivet tool and
remove the unwanted section. This should
leave just enough slack so that the rear
derailleur jockey wheels are pointing
forward but so that they can still move up a
fraction. Use an R pin to help stop the chain
going back up the chain tub
i
TIP – make sure the
chain is correctly routed
through the rear derailleur cage
and goes the correct side of the tab
on the derailleur cage between the
two jockey wheels.
Note: where the end of one chain overlaps the
other. Add 1 or 2 links (with the chain on both
the largest sprocket and the largest chainring)
to find the correct place to split the chain.
