Adjusting the chain
Your bicycle is fitted with an external rear derailleur, the chain is automatically tensioned.
Replacing the chain
Since new chains are usually sold with too many links, the first step is to reduce it to the correct length.
The most secure way is to count the number of links in the old chain in order to adjust the new one.
To remove the old chain, simply undo a rivet.
Once it has been removed, the new one must be fitted. To fit the new chain, pass it around the chain
set and the rear sprocket so that it engages correctly on the other gear elements. To fasten the chain
closed, we recommend using a quick clamp. This acts as a female link which will be inserted between
two male links. Next, the quick clamp also allows you to remove the chain more easily for cleaning.
In order to check if the length of the chain is correct, it must be put on the small sprocket and on the
large chainring. In this configuration, the virtual line drawn between the wheel hub of the rear wheel
and the axis of the lower derailleur pulley should be vertical.
Changing the pedals
To change your pedals, identify the pedals by looking at the letter noted on the pedal. The right pedal
is marked "R" (Right) and the left pedal is marked "L" (Left). Turn the pedal R clockwise to fix it onto
the crank arm. Turn the L pedal anti-clockwise.
Wheel and engine
After the first month of use, it is advisable to tighten your spokes to limit the impact of engine traction
on your rear wheel. A slight noise may be heard when the engine is started. This noise is normal
because the engine starts and assists pedalling. This noise can become louder when in full use.
