Lubrication

All the pivoting points of the front and rear derailleurs should be

lubricated with chain lube at least every month. Be sure to wipe off any

excess oil to prevent attraction of dirt into the mechanisms. The

shifting cables should be cleaned and re-coated with a thin layer of

grease every six months, or whenever new cables are being installed.

Adjustment - Rear Derailleur

The Low limit screw determines how far the rear derailleur will travel toward the

wheel of the bicycle, while the High limit screw determines how far the cage will

travel toward the frame.

1. Shift the rear shifter to the largest number indicated, disconnect the

rear derailleur cable from the cable anchor bolt and place the chain

on the smallest sprocket.

2. Adjust the High limit screw so the chain and the smallest sprocket

are lined up vertically. Remove any slack in the cable by pulling it

taut, then re-connect the cable and tighten the cable anchor bolt securely.

3. Shift up through the gears making sure that each gear is achieved quietly

and without hesitation.

If noise occurs, use the barrel adjuster to fine-tune the cable tension.

Turning the barrel adjuster clockwise will decrease cable tension and

allow the derailleur cage to move farther away from the bicycle in small

increments. Turning counter-clockwise will increase cable tension and

bring the cage closer to the bicycle. This will micro-adjust the positioning

of the derailleur cage in relation to the freewheel. Simply put; turn the

barrel adjuster the direction you want the chain to go.

4. Shift the chain onto the largest sprocket; adjust the Low limit screw so the

chain and the largest cog are lined up vertically. If you are unable to get

the chain to the largest cog, turning the Low limit screw counter-clockwise

will enable the chain to move towards the wheel.

5. Shift through the gears ensuring each gear is achieved quietly and without

hesitation.

NOTE: It may take several adjustments to achieve the desired positioning.

Please refer to the troubleshooting section for more assistance.
