If a regular "ticking" noise is heard while pedaling the bicycle,
examine the bicycle immediately. The most likely causes are:
1.
The rear wheel may be loose or not properly installed. If
this is the case, this dangerous condition must be corrected
before continuing the ride. (See the section "Changing a Tire,"
page 11, in this manual.)
2.
The Sprocket Cluster Lock Nut may be loose. This requires a
special tool. Do not ride the bicycle until you have had the Lock
Nut correctly tightened by an authorized Shift-E service center.
3.
The Selector may be loose. Tighten the two thumbscrews
on the Selector mount.
4.
The hinge of the Sprocket Cluster is sticking. Lubricate with
a lighweight lubricant
If the "ticking" is mild, the bike is rideable however, it should be
taken to R+E Cycles or an authorized Shift-E service center as
soon as possible.
