To align the indexing system
1. Shift the chain onto the largest front chainring and the smallest rear cog.
2. Shift one click with the rear shifter.
3. Check if the chain moves smoothly to the next gear.
•
If the chain makes excessive noise or does not shift, turn the barrel-adjuster counter-clockwise in small increments
and check again for a smooth shift.
•
If instead, the chain moves to the third smallest cog, turn the barrel adjuster clockwise until the derailleur
pulleys align with the second smallest cog.
4. Go through the gear combinations to ensure the chain smoothly lines up with all the rear cogs.
If the derailleur cannot be adjusted in this manner, the derailleur hanger may be out of alignment;
take the bike to your dealer for service.

The brake system allows you to slow or stop your bike, a function critical
to your safety. The brake system is difficult to adjust properly without the
proper tools and training. It is strongly recommended that adjustment of
a brake be done by your dealer. If you need more specific information
regarding your brake system, contact your dealer.
