Shift System
Front Derailleur Adjustments
These instructions describe most adjustments that the shift system may need. If you can
not adjust the shift system using these instructions, have a bicycle service shop do the
adjustments that are needed.
The Handlebar Twist Grips
(View 1) control the Shift
System. The Left Grip
A
shifts
the chain on the front sprockets
(View 2). The Right Grip
B
shifts the chain on the Rear
Sprocket (View 3).
The front derailleur (View 2) has
two adjusting screws. The “low”
adjusting screw, sometimes
marked “L”, limits how far the
front derailleur and chain can
move toward the frame. The
“high” adjusting screw, some-
times marked “H”, limits how far
the front derailleur and chain
can move away from the frame.
Put the “low” adjusting screw
L
in the correct position as
follows:
• Shift the chain onto the
third largest rear sprocket
and the smallest front
sprocket.
• Turn the lever Barrel Ad-
juster
C
all the way IN.
• Loosen Nut
D
of the cable
clamp.
• Turn the “low” adjusting
screw
L
so the left inside
edge of the chain cage
E
and the chain
F
just do
not touch.
• Remove the slack from the cable wire and tighten Nut
D
securely.
