In the case of carbon handlebars, it
may be necessary to lower the
tightening torque in order to prevent
damage to the handlebar.
Please consult the bicycle or handlebar manufacturer regarding the
appropriate level of tightening torque for carbon handlebars.

Rear Derailleur
When installing, be careful not to let the B-tension adjustment
screw come into contact with the dropout tab, otherwise
deformation may result.
Do not remove the Pro-Set alignment block at this time.
The length of A will vary depending on the movement of the rear
suspension. Because of this, an excessive load may be placed on the
drive system if the chain length is too short. Set the length of the
chain by adding two links to the chain when the rear suspension is at
a position where dimension "A" is longest and the chain is on the
largest sprocket and the largest chainring. If the amount of movement
of the rear suspension is large, the slack in the chain may not be
taken up properly when the chain is on the smallest chainring and
smallest sprocket.

Best setting
The best setting is when the cable adjustment bolt is tightened
(turned clockwise) until noise occurs without lever being
operated, and then loosened (turned counterclockwise) 90 - 180
degrees from that point.
Operate lever to change gears, and check that no noise occurs
in any of the gear positions.
Pro-Set alignment block
Installation of the chain
Install the chain with the Pro-Set
alignment block still attached.
After installing, remove the Pro-Set
alignment block.
Turn the crank arm to set the
derailleur to the low position.
Use a handlebar grip with a
maximum outer diameter of 32 mm.
■
Operating the brake lever
Adjusting the grip width
It is recommended that you adjust the grip widths of the levers to
the most comfortable widths for gear shifting and braking.
■
Gear shifting operation
The lever always returns to the initial position when it is released after
shifting. When operating the lever, always be sure to turn the crank
arm at the same time.
To shift from a large sprocket to a smaller sprocket
To shift one step only, press lever to the (1) position. To shift two steps
at one time, press to the (2) position. A maximum two-step shift can be
made in this manner.
To shift from a small sprocket to a larger sprocket
Press lever once to shift one step from a smaller to a larger sprocket.
4. How to use the B-tension adjustment screw
Mount the chain on the smallest chainring and the largest
sprocket, and turn the crank arm backward. Then turn the
B-tension adjustment
screw to adjust the guide
pulley as close to the
sprocket as possible but not
so close that it touches.
Next, set the chain to the
smallest sprocket and
repeat the above to make
sure that the pulley does
not touch the sprocket.

* If the rear derailleur moves to a large degree, such as in
bicycles with rear suspension, it is recommended that you
replace the cap with the
accessory aluminum cap.
The end of the outer casing
which has the aluminum cap
should be at the derailleur side.

General Safety Information
WARNING
• Use neutral detergent to clean the chain. Do not use alkali-based or acid based detergent such as rust
cleaners as it may result in damage and/or failure of the chain.
• Use the reinforced connecting pin only for connecting the narrow type of chain.
• There are two different types of reinforced connecting pins available. Be sure to check the table below
before selecting which pin to use. If connecting pins other than reinforced connecting pins are used, or
if a reinforced connecting pin or tool which is not suitable for the type of chain is used, sufficient
connection force may not be obtained, which could cause the chain to break or fall off.
• If it is necessary to adjust the length of the chain due to a change in
the number of sprocket teeth, make the cut at some other place than
the place where the chain has been joined using a reinforced
connecting pin or an end pin. The chain will be damaged if it is cut at a
place where it has been joined with a reinforced connecting pin or an
end pin.
• Check that the tension of the chain is correct and that the chain is not damaged. If the tension is too
weak or the chain is damaged, the chain should be replaced. If this is not done, the chain may break
and cause serious injury.
• Obtain and read the service instructions carefully prior to installing the parts. Loose, worn, or damaged
parts may cause injury to the rider. We strongly recommend only using genuine Shimano replacement
parts.
• Read these Technical Service Instructions carefully, and keep them in a safe place for later reference.
Note
• If gear shifting operations do not feel smooth, wash the derailleur and lubricate all moving parts.
• If the amount of looseness in the links is so great that adjustment is not possible, you should replace
the derailleur.
• You should periodically clean the derailleur and lubricate all moving parts (mechanism and pulleys).
• If gear shifting adjustment cannot be carried out, check the degree of parallelism at the rear end of the
bicycle. Also check if the cable is lubricated and if the outer casing is too long or too short.
• If you hear abnormal noise as a result of looseness in a pulley, you should replace the pulley.
• If the chain keeps coming off the sprockets during use, replace the sprockets and the chain.
• Adjust the RD-M760/M580 reverse spring type rear derailleur from the low side.
• Use a frame with internal cable routing is strongly discouraged as it has tendencies to impair the SIS
shifting function due to its high cable resistance.
• Always be sure to use the sprocket set bearing the same group marks. Never use
in combination with a sprocket bearing a different group mark.
• Use an outer casing which still has some length to spare even when the
handlebars are turned all the way to both sides. Furthermore, check that the
shifting lever does not touch the bicycle frame when the handlebars are turned all
the way.
• Make sure that the gear shifting cable and the brake cable do not obstruct each
other during braking operations. If they do obstruct, it may interfere with braking.
Install the cables so that they still have some slack in them even when the
handlebars are turned fully in either direction.
• A special grease is used for the gear shifting cable (SIS-SP41). Do not use DURA-ACE grease or other
types of grease, otherwise they may cause deterioration in gear shifting performance.
• Grease the inner cable and the inside of the outer casing before use to ensure that they slide properly.
• For smooth operation, use the specified outer casing and the bottom bracket cable guide.
• Operation of the levers related to gear shifting should be made only when the front chainwheel is
turning.
• Parts are not guaranteed against natural wear or deterioration resulting from normal use.
• For maximum performance we highly recommend Shimano lubricants and maintenance products
• For any questions regarding methods of installation, adjustment, maintenance or operation, please
contact a professional bicycle dealer.
