PROPER MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT
CONTINUED
For saddle height adjustment and
seatpost quick release usage, see page
32, Installing the Seatpost.
Pedals
The right pedal (chainside) is threaded
in the standard clockwise to tighten
direction. The left pedal is threaded in
the opposite direction (Fig. 26, page 33).
Tighten pedals into the crankarms to
350-380 lb•in (40.2-42.9 N•m).
The adjustment of pedal bearings
requires special tools and training. Only
a bicycle dealer should attempt these
adjustments.
A seatpost that is too high can cause
damage to the bicycle, decrease your
control, and cause you to fall. Make
sure the minimum-insertion mark (Fig.
25 page 33) is in the frame.
WARNING
Control Cables
Examine all cables for kinks, rust,
broken strands, or frayed ends. Also
examine the cable housing for loose
wire strands, bent ends, cuts, and worn
areas. If you think there is a problem with
a cable or housing, replace the cable
before riding.
Rear Derailleur Adjustment
If the gear system is not functioning
properly, check to ensure that the rear
derailleur follows each shifting command
of the right twist shifter/shift lever. Cable
stretching could affect the function after
some time, so that synchronization
may no longer be assured. Position the
bicycle in a stand and check and adjust
as follows:
1. On models with a front derailleur,
shift so that the chain is on the
middle chainring, by turning the
crank forward and shifting the left
twist shifter/shift lever.
