Wear and maintenance
As a general rule, derailleur gear components show minimum signs of wear if maintained
and cared for regularly.
• Please note that the chain will wear more quickly if it runs at a steep angle (e.g. if the
chain runs over the smallest chain ring and the smallest sprocket). Avoid such combi-
nations to prevent unnecessary wear on the chain.
• Check the derailleur gear regularly
˃ Chap. 23.3 “Checking the derailleur gear” on page
.
• Contact your specialist dealer to service the derailleur gear if:
-
unusual noises can be heard when shifting gears,
-
problems arise when shifting gears,
-
the chain slips off repeatedly.

Cleaning and care
• Make sure that the derailleur gear components are kept free of soiling and clean the
components regularly to ensure that the derailleur gear functions correctly.
-
Clean the operating elements with a damp cloth.
-
Remove coarse soiling from the chain rings and sprockets, as well as front derailleur
and rear derailleur with a damp cloth or a soft brush.
-
After cleaning, lubricate the chain rings, sprockets, front derailleur and rear derailleur
with universal oil.
