9. If the chain skips a gear, turn the barrel 1/4 turn counter-clockwise.
10. Go back to first gear as a final check.
11. The chain should run smoothly between the large and small cogs.
12. If all gears can still not be reached, the limit screws may need adjustment.

WARNING:

The adjusting barrel is for “fine” adjustments to the dérailleur. If

the barrel is turned too far counter-clockwise it will screw out of its threads
creating a hazardous condition. The adjusting barrel must be screwed in until a
maximum of ¼ thread is showing. “Coarse” adjustments to the system are
made by removing the derailleur cable slack at the rear dérailleur cable anchor.
Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions, or even better, see your bicycle
mechanic.

Wheel Removal and Installation

Rear wheel removal:

1. Shift into Gear 8 (smallest cog).
2. Release the rear brake cable by holding the rear brake shoes against the wheel rim

and retracting the “bullet-nosed” end of the silver cable guide from the metal yoke
attached to the caliper, thus releasing the brake cable.

3. Loosen the quick-release lever
4. Remove the wheel from the dropouts and remove the chain around the smallest

cog.

Initial Assembly

Your Xootr Swift has either been setup at the factory or should have been done by your
dealer. All major components should be adjusted and functioning properly. Initial
assembly should take about 10 minutes. The only tools required are a pedal wrench (15mm
open-ended wrench) and a Phillips head screw driver. This section is geared more towards
those that have purchased the Swift directly from the Xootr factory as we presume your
dealer has assembled the bicycle for you.

WARNING:

The brakes and dérailleur may have come out of adjustment

during shipping. You should ensure that the brakes and dérailleur are adjusted
and functioning properly before riding your Swift. Improper adjustment may
result in damage to the bicycle and/or in an accident which could cause serious
injury or death.

In the small box that came with your Swift you should find the pedals, riser, front wheel QR
lever/skewer, 2 reflectors and screws, spare cable ties, and a 5mm hex wrench which will be
used during the initial assembly.

After removing the Swift from the shipping box, carefully remove all packing material and
cut the cable ties used to secure the Swift during shipping. Unfold the Swift and place it on
a flat, level surface.

Seat Post Installation

Loosen both seat post QR levers. Slide the seat post into the frame. Tighten both QR
levers. To verify that a clamp is tight, release the other clamp and check that the seat can
not be easily twisted relative to the frame.
