Adjusting the Rear Derailleur – Step 3
3a. Check the Gear Change
While raising the rear of the bike and rotating the pedals by hand, use the right hand trigger shifter to
change from the highest (smallest) gear to the lowest (largest) gear one at time. If the rear derailleur is
tuned correctly, the gears should change quickly without any grinding noises.
If the gears still do not operate correctly, carry out step 3b.
3b. Check the Cable Tension
If the gears change correctly between the highest and lowest gears but not between the lowest and
highest gears, the cable tension should be increased.
Rotate the barrel adjuster a quarter of a turn anti-clockwise.
Check the gear change by repeating step 3a.
Keep checking the gear change and slowly increasing the cable tension a quarter of a turn at a time
until they operate correctly.
