Shift with the right shift lever to the highest gear. The inner cable is relaxed and
the chain running on the smallest sprocket. Look from the rear of the bicycle at
the cassette and check whether the teeth of the smallest sprocket and the teeth
of the top guide pulley are all in a perfectly vertical line. If necessary, correct the
position of the jockey wheels by means of the limit screws
(d)
. The limit screws
on rear derailleurs are often marked “H” for high gear and “L” for low gear. High
gear means that the chain is running on the smallest sprocket.
If the screws are not marked, you will have to find out by trial and error. Turn one
of the screws by counting the number of turns and watch the rear derailleur. If it
does not move, you are turning the wrong one. Turn back the counted rotations
to find its original position.
Turn the screw clockwise to move the rear derailleur towards the wheel and
anticlockwise to move it away from the wheel.
Shift carefully to the largest (inmost) sprocket (e) and check whether the teeth
of the sprocket and the teeth of the guide pulley are all in a perfectly vertical line.
Turn the limit screw marked “L” clockwise until the rear derailleur stops moving
towards the spokes and can neither be moved by actuating the shift lever nor by
pushing it with your hand
(f)
. Carefully turn the cranks while checking.
This adjustment prevents the chain from getting stuck between sprocket and
spokes or the rear derailleur or the derailleur cage from touching the spokes,
which could result in damage to the spokes, the rear derailleur and the frame. In
the worst case, this could result in a fall or accident.
WARNING
Do a test ride in a place free of traffic, after adjusting the gears of your bicycle.
If your SCOTT road bike has tipped over or the rear derailleur received
a blow, the rear derailleur or its mount, also referred to as the derailleur
hanger, might be bent. It is advisable to check its range of movement and
readjust the limit screws, if necessary, after such an incident or after mount-
ing a new rear wheel on your bike.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Let your SCOTT dealer maintain and service your SCOTT road bike regularly.
