Adjustments 4

WARNING!

Figure 4.25

Adjust the Front Derailleur

❶ Shi both shiers to the smallest number indicated and

place the chain on the corresponding cog and chainwheel.

❷ Disconnect the front derailleur cable from the cable anchor

bolt. Figure 4.25

❸ Check the posion of the front derailleur; it should be

parallel with the outer chainwheel and clear the largest

chainwheel by 1-3 mm when fully engaged.

❹ With the chain on the smallest chainwheel in front and the

largest cog in back, adjust the low limit screw so the chain is

centered in the front derailleur cage.

❺ Reconnect the cable, pull any slack out and ghten the cable

anchor bolt securely.

❻ Shi the front shier to the largest chainwheel. If the chain

does not go onto the largest chainwheel, turn the high limit

screw in 1/4 turn increments counter-clockwise unl the

chain engages the largest chainwheel.

Do not ride a bicycle that is not shiing properly. Overlooking

proper adjustments may cause irreparable damage to the

bicycle and/or bodily injury. Never move the shier while

pedaling standing up, or under heavy load, nor pedal

backwards aer having moved the shier. This could jam the

chain and cause serious damage to the bicycle and/or rider.

If the chain falls o the largest chainwheel and into the

pedals, you will need to turn the high limit screw in 1/4 turn

increments clockwise unl the chain no longer falls o.

❼ Shi through every gear, using the barrel adjusters to

ne-tune each transion. The barrel adjuster for the front

derailleur is located on the front shier where the cable

comes out of the shier. Clockwise will loosen the cable

tension and direct the chain closer to the frame while

counter-clockwise will ghten the cable tension and direct

the chain away from the frame.
