Adjusting the Internally-Geared Hub on the 8C Model
1. Place your bike on a flat surface and stand it up
on the kickstand.
2. Do a visual inspection of your shifter cable. Make
sure it is fully seated in the gear shift housing.
Then follow it through the frame to ensure it
is not pinched in the mudguard and is seated
properly in the frame bosses. Finally check to make
sure it is seated correctly in the hub cable arm that
attaches to the hub.
3. Your bike is equipped with one of two versions of the
Shimano Alfine 8-speed hub. The hub adjustment
process to follow will depend on which version you
have. To determine which version you have, stand
between the front and rear wheel (as if you were
riding) and look at the gear indicator window on
the handlebars above the gear shifter levers. If
the left-most number is a 1, then follow the steps below
labeled 4a, 5a, 6a, and 7a. If the left-most number is an
8, then follow the steps below labeled 4b, 5b, 6b and
7b.
For 8-speed hubs where the left-most number in the gear
indicator window is a 1:
4a. Use the gear shifter to shift down into 1st gear,
then up to 5th gear, and then down into 4th gear. Move
to rear of the bike and find the small display window
with the two yellow lines. If the two yellow lines
are aligned then no further action is needed. If they
are not aligned, continue with the alignment procedure
set forth below.
