Chain tensioner on the dropout
WaRninG
Bicycle does not run properly straight.
Risk of accident and injury!
• Take care to ensure that the rear wheel is positioned in
line with the frame.
Depending on the bicycle model, your bicycle may be fitted with
a chain tensioner on the dropout (see Fig.
“Chain tensioner on
the dropout”
).
If you lack the necessary expertise or correct tools to adjust the
chain using the chain tensioner on the dropout, have your special-
ist dealer adjust it for you.
Do not loosen the quick-release adjusting nut to adjust the chain
tension via the chain tensioner on the dropout.
1.
Loosen the clamp screws on both sides of the frame (see
Fig.
“Chain tensioner on the dropout”
).
2. The screws for adjusting the chain tension are on both sides
of the underside of the dropout. The adjusting screws are
hexagon socket screws measuring 4mm in width
(see Fig.
“Adjusting screws on the dropout”
).
