THE DERAILLEUR GEAR SYSTEM
The gear system on your tricycle consists of:
A rear cluster (freewheel) which is attached to the
rear wheel.
A rear derailleur which moves the chain across
the cluster to change the gear ratio.
A front derailleur which moves the chain between
the front chain rings to change the gear ratio.
Gear levers which, when moved, change the gears.
Control cables which attach the gear levers to both
the front and rear derailleurs.
A chain.
INTERNAL GEARED HUB
If your tricycle is fitted with a multi speed internal
geared rear hub it may require special instruction for
correct use, adjustment, care and maintenance. Read
carefully the instruction manual supplied with your
tricycle.
Ask your tricycle retailer for advice on use
and maintenance of an internal geared hub.
NOTE:
Unauthorised work may limit or void the
warranty.
The purpose of derailleurs is to move from one
sprocket to another to allow for a variety of gear ratios.
These ratios allow the rider to maintain a constant
pedal revolution in a variety of road and speed
conditions.
Ask your tricycle retailer for advice.
