* When the lines of the brake shoe block are worn out seriously, replace it timely in order
to maintain traffic safety.
* When not riding for a long time, please loosen the folder device to avoid fatigue of flexi
-
bility but pay attention to recovery of the gate device before riding.
* When riding in rainy days, the function of any gate device will be weakened, so please
keep a longer safe braking distance and reduce the speed.
* The surface on the brake disc or shoe block may not be oiled, so as to avoid serious
injury.
* If the brake cable is ripped, it may cause the brake cable to be broken and this is very
dangerous, please replace timely.
MECHANISM OF THE DERAILLEUR
The derailleur mechanism includes the rear derailleur, the gear lever and the derailleur
control cables. All these elements must work properly for the gearbox to be effective and
work properly.
Inspection
The operation of the derailleur system must be checked at least once a month. The rear de-
railleur should move the chain precisely from one pinion to another without problems. After
the change, the rear derailleur must not rub against the chain. The front derailleur must never
cause the chain to fall inside or outside the freewheel sprockets.
The chain must never fall from the crown. The front derailleur's control cables are a critical
component that must have a correct maintenance in order to guarantee the best performance
of the gearbox. Check the cables for any signs of rust, wear, defects and any possible dam
-
age to the sheaths.
WARNING - If problems are found, replace the cables before riding.
Lubrication
All the central points of the rear derailleur must be lubricated with a special oil at least
once a month.
Make sure you have removed excess oil to avoid getting dirt in the mechanisms.
Gear cables must be cleaned and covered with a thin layer of grease every 6 months
or whenever new cables are installed.
Clean and lubricate the chain after each intensive use of the bike.
Derailleur
Although the rear derailleur is initially factory-fitted, it should be inspected and adjusted
before riding the bicycle. (We recommend going to a professional technician)
Rear derailleur
Begin by moving the rear derailleur to the highest shift indicated, disconnect the ca-
ble from the rear derailleur and position the chain in the smallest sprocket.
Adjust the H screw in order that the guide pulley and the smallest sprocket are verti
-
cally aligned in parallel. Reconnect the cable so that it is tense and tighten with force
the screw that secures the cable so that the cable does not unfasten. Try the gearbox
on all the sprockets, making sure that there are no noises or tensions for each gear. If
necessary, use the regulator to perfect the cable tension by turning it in the direction
you want the chain to go. For example, turning clockwise will decrease tension and
the chain
will move from the wheel, while turning counter-clockwise will increase the tension
