ADJUSTMENT - FRONT DERAILLEUR
1. Shift the rear shifter to the smallest number indicated, then shift the front
shifter to the smallest number indicated. Disconnect the front derailleur
cable from the cable anchor bolt and place the chain on the smallest
chainwheel.
2. Make sure the front chainguide is parallel with the outer chainwheel
on the crankset. There must be a 3-5mm gap between the bottom of the
derailleur cage and the top of the outer chainwheel teeth to ensure the
derailleur will clear the chainwheel when shifting.
3. Adjust the low limit screw so the chain is centered in the middle of
derailleur cage. Pull all slack out of the cable by pulling it taut, then
reconnect the cable and tighten the cable anchor bolt securely.
4. Shift the front shifter into the largest gear and pedal the bike so the chain
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-clockwise
until the chain moves to the largest chainwheel. If the chain falls into
the pedals, the High limit screw has been turned too far. You will need to readjust the High screw clockwise in 1/4 turn
increments until the chain no longer falls off.
5. Shift through each gear ensuring all are achieved quietly and without hesitation.
Turn
the adjusting barrel clockwise will move the derailleur outboard - away from the frame, while turning it clockwise will direct
the chain inboard - towards the frame.
NOTE: It may take several adjustments to achieve the desired positioning.
