Derailleur
Changing gears
With Shimano derailleurs, the shift levers are mounted
so that the lever for controlling the front derailleur
is located on the right handlebar and the lever for
controlling the rear derailleur is located on the left
handlebar.
For countries with right-hand traffic: Shift levers for
the front derailleur is located on the left handlebar.
Shift levers for the rear derailleur is located on the
right handlebar.
Shimano rapidfire shifters are designed so that each
shifter has a large and small lever. The large shifter
serves to change to the larger chain ring or sprocket,
the small lever changes to the next smallest chain ring
or sprocket.
Normally, you operate the large lever with your thumb.
The smaller lever in front of the handlebars is operated
with your index finger or thumb [ Shimano Syfront forke
with 2-way release ].
Checking and adjusting the derailleur
After the first hours of using your bike, the Bowden
cables of your derailleur may be elongated, which will
reduce shifting accuracy. The derailleur may therefore
have to be adjusted. We recommend that the derailleur
is adjusted by an experienced bicycle mechanic. If you
want to adjust your derailleur yourself, consult the ad-
ditional owner’s manuals of the derailleur manufacturer.
If in doubt, contact the Porsche Bike hotline.
Use the adjusting screw located on your shifter to
make fine adjustments to the rear derailleur.
Sudden loss of power and propulsion.
Shifting
under a load may cause the chain to slip or fall off
the chain rings. The loss of power and propulsion
may cause a crash. When shifting, continue to pedal
without applying excessive force.
Failure to remain alert on public roads.
Practicing
shifting on public roads may distract one’s attention
from traffic and potential risks, which may result in
an accident or crash. Only practice shifting when on
a surface away from traffic.
Risk of damage to the chain and frame when
shifting under a load. If the chain falls off, it may
cause chain suck [ deadlock of the chain ] between
the front chain ring and the chain stay. This may
damage the frame.
When shifting, continue to pedal
without applying excessive force.
Risk of damage to the chain due to increased
wear.
Avoid a gear ratio where the chain is in an
extremely oblique position.
