If the chain won't shift smoothly and quietly from gear to gear: the
derailleur is out of adjustment. The cause may be as simple as cable
stretch, in which case you can compensate by turning the shifter or
derailleur cable adjusting barrel counterclockwise half turn. Try
shifting again. If half turn to a full turn of the cable adjusting barrel
does not cure the problem, see your dealer.
Proper lubrication and grease on your bicycle and components will
ensure better functioning and increase the longevity of your bicycle.
Your Authorized Dealer can provide you with the appropriate
lubricants and greases needed to perform this. Periodically lubricate
and grease:
•
Chain
•
Derailleur and Brake Cables
•
Derailleur Pivot Points
•
Brake and Brake Lever Pivot Points
•
All Bolts (mounting bolts such as your stem, seatpost, etc),
Bearings (headset, bottom bracket, wheel hub bearings), and
Frame Pivot Points (for full suspension mountain bicycles)
Re-greasing bearings requires special tools and training, and should
only be done by your Authorized Dealer.
