This section describes the adjustment procedure for the SHADOW RD+.

How to use the end adjust bolt (SHADOW RD+)
Note:
Move the lever switch to the OFF position to reduce the tension of the plate tension spring before carrying out this
adjustment.
If the lever switch remains at the ON position so that the screw is difficult to turn, the screw may become damaged if you try to
force it to turn.
1.
Set the rear derailleur to the low gear.
2.
After stopping the wheel, check that the distance between the tip of the guide pulley and the tip of the gear is within the
range shown in the illustration.
