SHIFTING PRECAUTIONS / CHAIN LENGTH
The chain on a Jekyll must be kept long enough to prevent damage to the
rear derailleur when the rear shock is at its most forward position and the
rear suspension compresses to its full travel with the chain on the large
chainring and one of the larger rear cogs. See Fig. 3 for the correct shock
position in which to set the chain length. Remember that on any bicycle,
the gearing combinations of the smallest front chainring / smallest rear
cog, and the largest chainring / largest rear cog should never be used.
These gear combinations (called “cross chaining”) place undue stress on
the chain, chainrings, derailleurs, and rear cogs. Duplicate or similar gear
ratios can be achieved in other combinations using the middle chainring.
CABLE ROUTING
The cables on the Jekyll must be routed correctly to ensure proper oper-
ation of the derailleurs and brakes, and to prevent the cable housing from
being pinched when the rear suspension is compressed. Also, be sure to
use lengths of cable housing which will not impede steering control and
will not contact wheels or tires. Based upon the type of swingarm on the
Jekyll you have purchased, see the appropriate section below for cable
installation instructions.
