Rear shifting lever:
To shift to a tougher (higher) gear,
press the small shifting lever gently inwards until you hear
or feel a click. To shift to an easier (lower) gear, press the
small shifting lever further inwards until you hear or feel
a second click. You can shift down by up to three gears at
once.
Front shifting lever:
Press the small shifting lever inwards
as far as it will go to shift from the small chain wheel to
the large chain wheel. To shift from the large chain wheel
down to the small chain wheel, press the small shifting
lever in the centre until you hear or feel a distinctive click.
To prevent chain rubbing in extreme positions, the
shifting lever at the front has a trimming function for
the front derailleur. You can use this if the chain is on
the large chain wheel.
To shift the front derailleur to the trim position, press
the small shifting lever gently inwards until you hear
or feel a gentle click.
Setting the swivel range
The range of the shifting and brake lever pivoting move-
ment can be adjusted individually to suit the size of your
hand.
›
First, set the shifting lever range then adjust the
brake lever until the brake lever limit stop makes
contact with the shifting lever. This ensures that
the brake lever cannot strike the shifting lever
when it springs back.
›
To adjust the range of the shifting lever, push it
inwards to reach the range adjustment screw.
Push the adjustment screw inwards using a man-
drel or your fingernail and turn it anticlockwise
to move the shifting lever closer to the handle-
bars.
