derailleur cable from the cable anchor bolt and place the chain on the
smallest chainwheel.

on the crankset. There must be a 1-3mm gap between the bottom of the

jumps to the largest chainwheel. If the chain does not shift onto the
largest chainwheel, you will need to turn the High limit screw counter-

you are experiencing problems shifting between gears, use the barrel
adjuster to fine-tune the cable tension.
NOTE: It may take several adjustments to achieve the desired positioning.
