VI. 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. 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.
VII. Suspension
Turn the wheel clockwise to lock the suspension and anti-clockwise to unlock it. It is best to lock the
suspension on the flat and unlock it on bumpy routes.
