Adjusting the Derailleur Cable Tension
If the gear system does not function properly, ensure that the rear derailleur follows each
shifting command of the right twist grip shifter. Cable stretching could affect the function
after some time, so that synchronization may no longer be assured. Check and adjust as
follows:
1.
Shift the chain to the center of the front chain ring by turning the crank forward and
shifting the left twist grip shifter.
2.
Shift the chain to the outermost/smallest rear sprocket by turning the right twist grip
shifter all the way away from you, or moving the right shift lever all the way towards
you.
3.
While turning the crank forward, rotate the right twist grip shifter to the next
position.
4.
The chain should move to the second rear sprocket after a maximum of one full turn
of the wheel. If it stays on the first sprocket, the tension of the shifting cable must
be increased. (Proceed to step 6.)
5.
If the chain jumps across the second sprocket or if it scratches the third sprocket,
the tension of the shifting cable must be decreased. (Proceed to step 6.)
6.
Cable tension is adjusted by turning the cable adjusting barrel as shown in Figure 14,
which is located at the junction of the cable and the rear derailleur. To increase
tension, turn the knurled knob counterclockwise; to decrease tension, turn the knob
clockwise.
