Twist Shift – Installation
1. Slide front Grip Shift assembly over left side of handlebar leaving proper clearance for handlebar grip. If necessary, move the brake
lever to accommodate Grip Shift and handlebar grip.
2. Rotate assembly until cable exits beneath brake lever with adequate clearance for brake lever movement.
3. Firmly tighten recessed clamp screw. Installation torque should be 20 in.-lbs.
4. Slide the two 7/8" plastic washers over handlebar. The washers prevent the grip from interfering with Grip Shift rotation.
5. Slide handlebar grip over handlebar. Thread the cable inner wire through cable housings and frame, and attach to derailleur. Make
sure that the cable is in the V groove at the derailleur attachment bolt. If trimming the cable housing is necessary, be sure to replace
the housing end cap.
6. Adjust indexing.

Cables and Cable Housing

Cables and housing are one of the most overlooked parts on the
bicycle. The first indication that your cables and housing need to
be replaced is an increased amount of pressure needed to operate
the brakes or shifters. Before every ride, check that there are
no kinks or frays in the cables and housing. Also check that the
housing is seated properly into each cable stop of the bicycle. It
is recommended that the cables and housing be replaced at least
every riding season to prolong the life of your bike.
