2.14 Install the front derailleur cable

The front derailleur cable can be identified by 
the cable guide tube (chromed ‘noodle’). Pass 
the cable guide up through the rear (larger) 
hole on the underside of the front boom, so that 
it just pokes out of the hole on the top face of 
the boom. NOTE – the “noodle” appears to sit 
at an odd angle but this is correct and angles 
the cable towards the derailleur.

How the cable connects to the front derailleur 
will depend on the model fitted to your trike. 
Pull through any slack cable. While holding the 
cable taut, turn the shifter through its range of 
movement to check the cable moves smoothly 
and that the cable is properly seated inside the 
shifter. Run the cable under the cable anchor
washer and hold taut. Tighten the 5 mm hex 
cable anchor bolt to 5 Nm (44 in.lbs.). Be 
careful not to crush or deform the cable.

 TIP: 

Do not trim any cables until 

you are happy with the various

settings of front boom and gears. 

The loose end of the cable can be

tightly coiled so that it is out of the 

way.

2.15 Check the chain tube lengths

Note: If tightening the plastic clips onto the 
pulley plate, be careful not to over-tighten 
the bolts; it is possible to damage the plastic 
clips if you do. These clips are pre tightened 
at the factory and are designed to allow some 
movement of the top front and rear tubes for 
correct chain alignment when in different gears.

Top chain (drive chain)

Pulley plate

Chain Tubes

Clips

Bottom chain (return chain)

Check for clearance between the chain tubes
and the front chainset. If the top or bottom 
chain tube at the front is too long, shorten 
them by cutting the tube at the front end to the 
required length with a sharp knife.
