Step 2b Manual configuration 

    Manually entering values 

 

 

You can set the ELink manually in 
the main page and then easily 
adjust the ELink in the Tune page. 

1. Choose the number of gears 
2. You must load a value, choose 1 

for the load setting for the 
smallest ring.  Ring 10 (smallest) 
gear will transfer and re-set to a 
zero setting as it is the first 
location.   

3. Enter a high number,42 is the 

maximum, for the largest ring.  
This value can be changed in 
the Tune page.  By starting at 
the max you will not have to 
adjust the middle settings while 
fine tuning the ELink.  The large 
value must be greater than 5 

4. Cable pull will become the 

“Cable Slack” setting.  A general 
rule is to set cable slack at 2 to 
allow for fine adjustments in the 
future. 
 

AFTER YOU CLICK FINISH THE 
APP GOES BACK TO THE MAIN 
PAGE 

 

BE SURE TO BE SPINNING THE 
CRANKS WHILE THE ELINK IS 
RESETTING AND MOVING TO 
THE SMALLEST RING. 

NOTE:  The cable pull limit is 42 
including the slack amount. 

Step 3 ELink gear adjustments 

 

CLICK TUNE on Main Page 

When you touch the Tune button 
on the main page you are taken 
directly to the gear cable pull page. 

The detailed cable settings based 
on your choice of natural or Linear 
will be filled in. 

You may need to scroll through the 
screen top to bottom to adjust 
each gear  

The derailleur should have been in 
the smallest gear setting when you 
tightened up the cable after the 
hardware installation.  

You are now ready to fine tune 
the ELink for easy shifting.  

There are 2 methods to move the 
ELink push the Pod button or click 
on the gear number on the app.   

While spinning the cranks tap the 
app to gear 9 the shifter should 
move to the next larger gear.  If 
the derailleur did not move tap the 
>> or > arrows to move the cable 
up or down 

>> > arrows move the derailleur 
towards the largest gear direction 

<< < arrows move the derailleur 
toward the smallest gear direction 

Adjust the cable pull number until 
the derailleur is properly positioned 
on that ring.  Repeat this process 
for ALL gear rings 
 

Step 3 Continued

 

Bottom half of the Tune page 
shown 

To verify that the settings are 
correct you should be spinning the 
cranks and be able to hit the 
button Pod easily shifting the 
gears back and forth. 

 

NOTE: 

<< & >> arrows move the cable 
pull in Large increments of 1.0  

< & > arrows move the cable pull 
in very fine small increments of 
0.1.   

This fine adjustment is great for 
eliminating chain rub and centering 
the derailleur. 

 

Gray screen after click finish

 

 

This gray screen will show after 
the finish button is clicked.  When 
the screen returns to the normal 
colors the App is ready. 

 

This The ELink will click and reset 
itself.  Shifter will go to ring 
position 10 smallest.   

It is suggested to be spinning 
the cranks while the ELink is re-
setting the gear positions.
