Pull the wheel back until the chain is
taut, then tighten the wheel nuts with
your fingers. The chain should have
about half an inch of slack and the
wheel must be centred in the frame.
Then tighten the wheel nuts half a turn
at a time each.
Once the hub nuts are tight, check that
you can only lift the chain about half an
inch. And also that the wheel is exactly in
the centre of the frame. Tighten the hub
nuts for the last time, reconnect the gear
cable and adjust.

Note: The chain is automatically tensioned
on models fitted with derailleur gears.
The gear change on a Shimano Nexus
hub gear is made in one piece with the
brake lever. You change gear by clicking
up and down with the inner part of the
hand grip. Nexus gears and brakes must
be refilled with grease every 6 months.
To adjust a 7 speed Nexus hub gear
if it makes an odd noise when riding
normally, select 4th gear on the changer.
Then adjust the gear cable with the
adjuster under the chain stay so that the
two red slots (arrow) line up exactly.
Adjust hub brakes using the cable
adjuster and then spin the wheel to
check it’s not dragging. If grease ever
leaks out, if the gear or brake ever make
odd noises and for regreasing, refer to
your retailer without delay.
