REAR DERAILLEUR ADJUSTMENT:
The Low Gear Adjustment Screw (A)
determines how far the rear derailleur
will travel toward the wheel of the bicycle,
while the High Gear Adjustment Screw (B)
determines how far the cage will travel
toward the frame.
1. Shift the rear shifter to the largest
number indicated, disconnect the rear
derailleur cable from the cable anchor
bolt and place the chain on the smallest
sprocket.
2. Adjust the High Gear Adjustment
Screw (B) so the chain and the smallest sprocket are lined up vertically. Remove any
slack in the cable by pulling it taut, then re-connect the cable and tighten the cable
anchor bolt securely.
3. Some derailleurs have an adjusting barrel. Use the adjusting barrel and turn clockwise to
move the derailleur outboard - away from the wheel - while turning it counter-clockwise
will direct the chain inboard - towards the wheel.
4. Shift the chain onto the largest sprocket; adjust the Low Gear Adjustment Screw (A) so
the chain and the largest cog are lined up vertically. If you are unable to get the chain
to the largest cog, turning the Low Gear Adjustment Screw (A) counter-clockwise will
enable the chain to move towards the wheel.
5. Shift through the gears ensuring each gear is achieved quietly and without hesitation.
NOTE: It may take several adjustments to achieve the desired positioning. Please refer to the
troubleshooting section for more assistance. Check to be sure how the components on your
bike function.
