ASSEMBLY
DERAILLEUR
Although the front and rear derailleurs are initially adjusted at the factory,
you will need to inspect and readjust both prior to riding the bicycle.
Rear Derailleur
Begin by shifting the rear shifter to largest number indicated, disconnect
the cable from the rear derailleur cable anchor bolt, and place the chain
on the smallest sprocket.
Adjust the High limit screw so the guide pulley and the smallest sprocket
are lined up vertically. Reconnect the cable, pull out any slack, and
retighten the anchor bolt securely. Shift through the gears, making sure
each gear achieved is done quietly and without hesitation. If necessary,
use the barrel adjuster to fine-tune each gear by turning it the direction
you want to chain to go. For example, turning counter-clockwise will
tighten cable tension and direct the chain towards the wheel. Shift the
rear shifter to the gear one and place the chain on the largest cog. Adjust
the Low limit screw in quarter turn increments until the guide pulley and
the largest cog are aligned vertically. Again, shift through each gear
several times, checking that each gear is achieved smoothly. It may take
several attempts before the rear derailleur and cable is adjusted properly.
Ensure all bolts are secured tightly and the chain does
not fall off in either direction.
