ADJUSTING GEARS
The gears on the bike were carefully adjusted during assembly
and checked by your dealer. However, the cables may stretch a
little during the first few miles, making gear shifting imprecise
and often a noisy drivetrain. If this happens, you may need to
adjust the tension in the gear cable. To do this, wind the barrel
adjust anticlockwise on the gear shifter by quarter of a turn
until the gears function properly and the noise disappears.
Adjusting the rear derailleur accurately is a job for an
experienced mechanic. Shimano has an extensive library of
instructions and technical guides on their website or if you
have any problems, please consult your local dealer or contact
customer service.

ADJUSTING HEADSET
Adjustment of the headset (or re-tensioning after re-
positioning of spacers to adjust the stem height) is relatively
straightforward – threadless headsets can be adjusted with
allen keys. If the headset is loose, first loosen the stem bolts so
that it can move on the steerer.
Tighten the bolt in the centre of the top cap that sits on top of
the stem until the play is taken up. Tighten to a maximum of
3Nm. Do not over tighten this top bolt. Rock the bike back and
forth with the front brake on to check for play and tighten a
quarter turn until the play is eliminated. Then tighten the stem
bolts to 5.2Nm ensuring that the stem is lined up with the
front wheel.
WARNING: Always tighten fasteners to the correct
torque. Do not over-tighten the stem bolts. Doing
so can damage the stem-to-fork assembly and risk
injury to the rider. An insufficiently tightened stem
or handlebar clamp bolt may compromise steering
action, which could cause the rider to lose control
and fall.
