General Safety Information
WARNING
"Maintenance interval depends on the usage and riding circumstances. Clean regularly the chain
with an appropriate chaincleaner. Never use alkali based or acid based solvents such as rust
cleaners. If those solvent be used chain might break and cause serious injury."
• The ST-M770/ST-M775 DUAL CONTROL lever is used for both gear shifting and braking operations.
Make sure that you fully understand and are accustomed to the gear shifting and braking operations for your bicycle. Refer to
the illustration for the method of operation.
• Braking can only be performed with the DUAL CONTROL lever. If you use the gear shifting release lever (Auxiliary release
lever) for braking, the release lever may become damaged and you may lose control of the bicycle, which could result in an
accident.
• If the internal unit of the DUAL CONTROL lever becomes damaged, the lever will move down from the normal lever position,
and it may move to a position where braking is difficult to carry out. If this happens, you should stop riding the bicycle
immediately.
• Use the reinforced connecting pin only for connecting the narrow type of chain.
• There are two different types of reinforced connecting
pins available. Be sure to check the table before
Chain

reinforced connecting pins are used, or if a reinforced

• If it is necessary to adjust the length of the chain due
to a change in the number of sprocket teeth, make the cut at some other place than the place
where the chain has been joined using a reinforced connecting pin or an end pin. The chain will
be damaged if it is cut at a place where it has been joined with a reinforced connecting pin or an
end pin.
• Be careful not to let the cuffs of your clothes get caught in the chain while riding, otherwise you
may fall off the bicycle.
• Check that the tension of the chain is correct and that the chain is not damaged. If the tension is too weak or the chain is
damaged, the chain should be replaced. If this is not done, the chain may break and cause serious injury.
• Use a front chainwheel which is compatible with 9-speed chains in conjunction with Shimano CN-7701, CN-HG93 and CN-
HG73 chains. If a chainwheel for an 8-speed chain or less is used, front chainwheel gear shifting problems may occur, or the
chain pins might fall out, causing the chain to break.
• The two left crank arm mounting bolts should be tightened alternately in stages rather than each bolt being fully tightened all at
once. Use a torque wrench to check that the final tightening torques are within the range of 12 - 14 N·m.
Furthermore, after riding approximately 100 km (60 miles), use a torque wrench to re-check the tightening torques.
It is also important to periodically check the tightening torques. If the tightening torques are too weak or if the mounting bolts are
not tightened alternately in stages, the left crank arm may come off and the bicycle may fall over.
• Check that there are no cracks in the crank arms before riding the bicycle. If there are any cracks, the crank arm may break and
you may fall off the bicycle.
• Obtain and read the service instructions carefully prior to installing the parts. Loose, worn or damaged parts may cause the
bicycle to fall over and serious injury may occur as a result. We strongly recommend only using genuine Shimano replacement
parts.
• Obtain and read the service instructions carefully prior to installing the parts. If adjustments are not carried out correctly, the
chain may come off and this may cause you to fall off the bicycle which could result in serious injury.
• Read these Technical Service Instructions carefully, and keep them in a safe place for later reference.
Note
• In addition, if pedaling performance does not feel normal, check this once more.
• Before riding the bicycle, check that there is no play or looseness in the connection. Also, be sure to retighten the crank arms
and pedals at periodic intervals.
• Do not wash the bottom bracket with high-pressure jets of water.
• If you feel any looseness in the bearings, the bottom bracket should be replaced.
• If gear shifting operations do not feel smooth, wash the derailleur and lubricate all moving parts.
• If the amount of looseness in the links is so great that adjustment is not possible, you should replace the derailleur.
• You should periodically wash the chainrings in a neutral detergent and then lubricate them again. In addition, cleaning the chain
with neutral detergent and lubricating it can be an effective way of extending the useful life of the chainrings and the chain.
• If the chain keeps coming off the chainrings during use, replace the chainrings and the chain.
• When the chain is in the position shown in the illustration, the chain may contact the front
chainrings or front derailleur and generate noise. If the noise is a problem, shift the chain
onto the next-larger rear sprocket or the one after.
• Apply grease to the left and right adapters before installing them.
• For smooth operation, use the specified outer casing and the bottom bracket cable guide.
• This front derailleur is for triple front chainwheel use only. It cannot be used with the
double front chainwheel, as the shifting points do not match.
• When installing the top route type, choose a frame that has three outer casing holders as
shown in the illustration at right.
• Use an outer casing which still has some length to spare even when the handlebars are turned all the way
to both sides. Furthermore, check that the shifting lever does not touch the bicycle frame when the
handlebars are turned all the way.
• Make sure that the gear shifting cable and the brake cable do not obstruct each other during braking
operations. If they do obstruct, it may interfere with braking.
Install the cables so that they still have some slack in them even when the handlebars are turned fully in
either direction.
• A special grease is used for the gear shifting cable (SIS-SP41). Do not use DURA-ACE grease or other
types of grease, otherwise they may cause deterioration in gear shifting performance.
• Grease the inner cable and the inside of the outer casing before use to ensure that they slide properly.
• Operation of the levers related to gear shifting should be made only when the front chainwheel is turning.
• If the brake fluid used in the oil disc brakes is of a type which tends to adhere to the plastic parts of the shifting lever, this may
cause the plastic parts to crack or become discolored. Therefore, you should make sure that the brake fluid does not adhere to
these plastic parts.
The mineral oil which is used in SHIMANO disc brakes does not cause cracking or discoloration if it adheres to plastic parts, but
such parts should be cleaned with alcohol beforehand to prevent foreign particles from adhering.
• Do not use the fixing bolt (made from aluminum) for the auxiliary release lever cap to secure the auxiliary release lever.
• Parts are not guaranteed against natural wear or deterioration resulting from normal use.
• For maximum performance we highly recommend Shimano lubricants and maintenance products
• For any questions regarding methods of installation, adjustment, maintenance or operation, please contact a professional
bicycle dealer.
