REFITTING THE GEAR CABLE
• Thread the inner cable through the housing and around
the cable pulley (fig. 14)
• Thread the cable through the clamp on the cable
anchor and pull through before tightening the clamp nut
• Screw the indicator chain into the gear cable anchor
HUB-GEAR ADJUSTMENT
Adjustment must be carried out with the bike fully unfolded and with
the indicator rod screwed into the hub (backed off not more than
half a turn to align with the cable). The aim is to make sure that the
indicator rod & chain move to the correct position in response to
moving the trigger. For this the cable has to be running free of kinks
or sharp bends, with the cable pulley rolling freely.
While setting gears, keep the wheel spinning forwards, and pedal back and forwards, to ensure the gear
engages. It’s easiest, when altering the setting, to have the cable slack: select top gear and back and forward
pedal.
Adjustment is carried out by slackening the lock nut, turning the cable anchor barrel (fig. 14) to obtain correct
setting, and relocking the nut.
The indicator chain is correctly adjusted (fig. 16) when the shoulder S on the indicator rod IR is proud of the
axle end by no more than 1mm (this can be seen by looking through the hole in the chain tensioner nut CTN)
when in the middle position on the shifter is selected.

2-SPEED GEAR SHIFTER

USING THE SHIFTER
The 2-speed shifter uses a self-returning lever to change between the two gears. Pushing it down with your
thumb will shift into an easier gear and flicking the lever upwards with the back of the thumb will shift into
a harder gear (fig. 17). It is possible to change gear while pedalling or stationary, though the gear will not
engage until the pedals are moving forward. The indicator window (fig. 17, 18) shows you which gear is
selected.
