GEARSHIFT
CHAIN GEARSHIFT
OPERATING THE GEARSHIFT
Only shift on a chain gearshift when you have taken a little
force off the pedals.
RAPIDFIRE SHIFT LEVER
You can shift the gears on the chain gearshift precisely with
the left and right shift levers. The right shift lever shifts the
rear gearshift and the left one (if present) the front chain ring.
ROTARY HANDLE SWITCH
Turn the rotary handle switch to change the gear. The sight win-
dow on the rotary handle switch shows the gear that is engaged.
The right shift lever shifts the rear gearshift and the left one the front chain ring.
SETTING
Every chain gearshift must be adjusted from time to time. If this is not done, increased wear,
reduced shifting comfort, up to function failure of the shifting system must be expected.
Therefore, always observe that the gearshift works without problems. If, for example, the
gears can no longer be shifted properly or if you hear any unusual sounds when shifting, you
usually need to adjust the chain gearshift.
• Do not backpedal while shifting gears. The chain might jump off. Danger of accident!
DANGER
• Do not let the chain run too diagonally, since there
may be grinding noise and the wear at chain ring,
pinion and chain will increase overproportionally.
