INSTALL SRAM REAR
DERAILLEUR
275 & 29 EXPERT
Move to the rear of the bike and cut off any zip-ties
or packaging from the rear derailleur and chain.
Using a 5mm Allen key, screw the derailleur into the
derailleur hanger/frame
(A)
.
At this point be careful that the ‘B screw’ is
positioned correctly so that it sits on the flat notch on
the hanger
(B)
. With the torque wrench tighten the
main derailleur bolt to 8-9Nm
(C).
Holding the bottom of the derailleur cage pivot the
whole derailleur toward the front of the bike
(D)
.
There will be some resistance from the spring, so be
careful that it doesn’t spring back into position.
When it won’t go any further forward, and in a near
vertical position, press the small button
(E)
with a
padlock logo printed on it. This is the ‘Cage Lock’.
Gently release the derailleur cage. The derailleur
should now be locked in position, which will make it
easier for you to fit the rear wheel.
