ADJUSTING THE NEXUS 3-GEAR HUB
1. Put the gear switch in position 2.
2. Stand behind the bicycle. Check
whether the yellow marking on the
gear shift unit (by the back wheel, on
the side of the chain guard) is between
the markings.
3. If not, adjust it with the cable adjust-
ing screw on the gear shift unit or
switch.
THE DERAILLEUR
Some Boys’ & Girls’ bicycles are
equipped with a derailleur. This gear
system means that you have a large
number of gear options at your dis-
posal so that you can anticipate road
and weather conditions and react ac-
cordingly.
The gear switches usually shift in 3
steps at the front and in 7 to 9 steps
at the rear. If properly adjusted, this
system shifts gears extremely well.
When cycling, the chain should be as
straight as possible (or in other words,
a straight chain line).
Avoid a diagonal chain line to prevent
premature wear. So for the outer chain-
wheel (front) do not use the innermost
sprocket wheel (which is closest to the
spokes) on the freewheel and vice versa
(7).
ADJUSTING THE FRONT AND REAR
DERAILLEURS
If the derailleur does not respond to
your commands, you can usually adjust
it easily. If the chain comes off the
innermost or outermost chainwheel
(front) or the innermost or outermost
sprocket wheel (rear), this can be
corrected by tightening the adjusting
screws on the front derailleur (8) or
rear derailleur (9) with a small screw-
driver. You can adjust the derailleur so
that the ‘clicking’ of the gear switch
corresponds precisely with the related
chainwheel or sprocket wheel. This
requires a certain amount of techni-
cal insight. Your Batavus dealer will be
happy to help you with this.
The rear derailleur is also equipped
with a cable adjusting screw (10). By
tightening or loosening this by hand,
you can adjust the cable tension even
more accurately.
