ENSURE ALL BOLTS ARE SECURED TIGHTLY AND THE CHAIN DOES
NOT FALL OFF IN EITHER DIRECTION.
DERAILLEUR
Although the front and rear derailleurs are initially
adjusted at the factory, you will need to inspect
and readjust both before riding the bicycle.
Rear Derailleur
Begin by shifting the rear shifter to largest number
indicated, disconnect the cable from the rear
derailleur cable anchor bolt, and place the chain
on the smallest sprocket.
Adjust the
High
limit screw so the guide pulley
and the smallest sprocket are lined up vertically.
Reconnect the cable, pull out any slack, and
retighten the anchor bolt securely. Shift through
the gears, making sure each gear achieved is
done quietly and without hesitation. If necessary,
use the barrel adjuster to fine tune each gear by
turning it the direction you want the chain to go.
For example, turning clockwise will loosen the
cable tension and move the chain away from
the wheel, while turning counter-clockwise will
tighten cable tension and direct the chain towards
the wheel. Shift the rear shifter to the gear one
and place the chain on the largest cog. Adjust the
Low
limit screw in quarter turn increments until
the guide pulley and the largest cog are aligned
vertically. Again, shift through each gear several
times, checking that each gear is achieved
smoothly. It may take several attempts before the
rear derailleur and cable is adjusted properly.
