5. On the shift lever, fully turn clockwise
the derailleur cable barrel-adjuster.
6. Put the cable in the groove found
near the derailleur-cable-clamp bolt,
pull the cable tight, and tighten the
clamp bolt to 44-60 lb•in (5.0-6.8
N•m).
To adjust the large-chainring position
1. Move the rear derailleur to the
smallest rear cog.
2. Turn the high-gear adjustment
screw (identified with an “H”)
counterclockwise until it cannot stop
the movement of the derailleur.
3. Turn the crankarms with your hand.
Use the shifter to carefully move the
chain to the outside chainring.
4. Move the outer chain-guide
approximately 0.5mm from the chain.
5. Tighten the high-gear adjustment
screw until it resists.
If you have turned the screw too far,
the front derailleur will move to the small
chainring.
6. Change gears to all the gear
combinations. Make sure the chain
does not come off when you move
the shift lever. Make sure the
derailleur cage does not rub on part
of the crankarms.
Front Derailleur Adjustment
With bicycles that have more than one
chainring, the front derailleur makes gear
changes.
To adjust the small-chainring position
1. Move the chain to the smallest front
chainring and the largest rear cog.
2. Decrease the tightness of the cable
clamp bolt (Fig. 53) until the cable is
free.
3. Turn the low-gear adjustment screw
(identified with an “L”) until the
inner chain-guide of the derailleur
is approximately 0.5 mm from the
chain.
4. Pull on the cable end, and move the
left shift lever to the small chainring
position.
