    Shift System Parts of the Shift System: • Left-hand Shift Lever (A) operates the Front Derailleur (B). • Right-hand Shift Lever (C) operates the Rear Derailleur (D). • Front Sprocket Set (E). • Rear Sprocket Set (F). Operation: Operate the shift system as follows: 1.
  • Page 26 Shift System - continued CAUTION: Do not force the shift levers. Shift only when pedaling forward and without strong force. Do not backpedal. Backpedaling can cause the chain to come off the sprockets. Backpedaling and shifting while not pedaling can damage the sprockets and stretch the cable wire.
  • Page 27 Shift System - continued These are the higher gear combinations. fig 17 They allow you to pedal harder and at a slower rhythm, but with more distance trav- eled per pedal revolution. For the best performance in this case, do not use the largest rear sprocket (E). On bicycles with three front sprockets, you may wish to keep the chain on the middle front sprocket (F) and shift the chain on the rear sprocket cluster.

    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. fig 19 The left Grip (A) shifts the chain on the front sprockets.

    Rear Derailleur Adjustments The rear derailleur has two adjusting screws. The “low” adjusting screw, sometimes marked “L”, limits how far the rear derailleur and chain can move toward the wheel. The “high” adjusting screw, sometimes marked “H”, limits how far the rear derailleur and chain can move away from the wheel.
  • Page 31 Rear Derailleur Adjustments Put the “low” adjusting Screw in the correct position as follows: • Shift the chain onto the largest rear Sprocket (F). • Loosen Nut of the cable clamp. • Turn the “low” adjusting Screw (H) so the Jockey Roller is exactly below the larg- est rear sprocket.
