Rear derailleurs have 3 adjustment screws (2 are the high and low limit screw), plus the barrel adjuster at the
derailleur and the barrel adjuster on the handlebars.
It is critical that the low and high limit screws are properly adjusted. If they are not, the chain may come of the largest
cog, into the spokes and cause permanent damage to your derailleur, derailleur hanger, motor cable, spokes, and rim.
The motor is so powerful that if this happens it can quickly destroy or damage the components mentioned.
Adjusting your derailleur properly will be done best by a mechanic, however it can be accomplished by following a
helpful video. Please check our support pages at
for the latest tips and video on how to do this
properly.
It is normal to need to adjust your derailleur once again after logging some miles on the bike as things settle (spring
and cable tension involved in shifting).
3.9 Test and Adjust Front and Rear Brakes:
After Assembly, you must test your front and rear brake. You can then adjust them as needed.
How you
install the front wheel and brake caliper can affect whether the disc brakes rub when first assembling. After
assembly, you may need to adjust the front and rear brake. Look in line with the brake pads and slowly
tighten the quick release axle while ensuring the rotor stays in the exact middle between the pads. The disc
rotor is one of the most exposed malleable components during shipping. If it is bent, it can sometimes be
trued (bent back) or replaced with a new disc rotor. If unsure how to properly adjust your brakes, please
check our website for a recommended video. If you are unable to access our website, you should take the
bike to your local bike shop for an assembly inspection and/or tune up. The bike shop will be able to inspect
the bike for safety and adjust your brakes.
