To align the index system
1. Move the chain to the largest front chainring and the smallest rear cog.
2. Move the rear shift-lever for one click.
3. Make sure the chain moves smoothly to the second-smallest gear. If the chain
makes too much noise or does not change gears, slightly turn the barreladjuster.
Change the gear again and make sure the change is smooth. If the chain moves to the
third smallest gear, turn clockwise the barrel-adjuster until the derailleur pulleys align
with the second smallest gear.
4. Change gears to all the gear combinations to make sure the chain smoothly lines up
with each of the rear cogs.
If the derailleur can not be adjusted correctly, the derailleur hanger could be out of
alignment. Transport your bicycle to your dealer for repair.

a shift-lever can be adjusted on the handlebar.

2. Decrease the tightness of the clamp bolt two to three turns.
3. Move the lever.
4. Tighten the clamp bolt to 53-69 lb•in (6.0-7.8 Nm).
