Adjust the Pads
Turn both pad adjustment knobs counterclockwise until desired pad/rotor clearance is achieved (approx. 2 or 3 clicks
each). Important: only use the barrel adjuster at the brake lever to adjust for cable slack. For lever throw, use the
outboard adjustment knob. For brake pad wear adjustment, use both the inboard and outboard knobs.

Derailleur adjustment (SRAM X7)
If the chain of your bicycle falls off at the largest COG/sprocket or the chain is having problems remaining on the correct
gear, you may need to adjust your derailleur. There are a multiple ways to adjust your derailleur but for a simple
adjustment on the changing of gears, follow these instructions.
Located at the shifter, the adjusting knob where the cable enters the shifter will adjust gear shifting. This knob
allows the loosening or tightening of the cable. Rotate this knob clockwise or counterclockwise until the derailleur
is properly changing gears. This is a quick fix but for a correct adjustment, the permanent adjustment should be
at the derailleur cable locking plate and fixing bolt with the shifter knob used for fine tuning.
