General Safety Information
WARNING
• 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.
• Be careful not to let the cuffs of your clothes get caught in the chain while riding,
otherwise you may fall off the bicycle.
• Read these Technical Service Instructions carefully, and keep them in a safe place for
later reference.
Note
• If gear shifting operations cannot be carried out smoothly, clean 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.
• 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.
• For smooth operation, use the specified outer casing and
the bottom bracket cable guide.
• Grease the inner cable and the inside of the outer casing
before use to ensure that they slide properly.
• 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.

plate and the large gear is 1 - 3 mm before installing.
2. The level section of the chain guide outer plate should be
directly above and parallel to the largest chainring.
3. Secure using a 5mm Allen key.

3. Adjustment of the cable tension
(1) When making the cable
adjustment, place the chain on
the largest sprocket at the rear;
and at the front, shift the chain to
the inner chainring and then set
it back onto the outer chainring.

(2) Perform the trimming.
(ST-4600 / ST-5700 / ST-6700)
While turning the crank arm, gently operate lever (b) and check that the front derailleur
moves slightly toward the small chainring. If the front derailleur moves by a large
amount and the chain is set onto the small chainring at this time, loosen the top
adjustment bolt by 1/8th of a turn. Then, after returning the chain to its original position,
adjust and check the trimming mechanism.
Note:
There are two derailleur positions for the outer chainring. Make sure the derailleur is in
the inner side of the two positions.
(3) After trimming, use the outer casing
adjustment barrel to adjust the
clearance between the chain and
chain guide to the minimum (0 - 0.5
mm).

Adjustment is possible at the dual
control lever (with cable adjuster).
For details on the adjustment
method, refer to the Service
Instructions for the ST-4600.

plate and the chain is 0 - 0.5 mm.

5. Troubleshooting chart
After completion of steps 1 - 4, move the shifting lever to check the shifting.
(This also applies if shifting becomes difficult during use.)
If the chain falls to the crank side
If shifting is difficult from the small chainring to the
large chainring
If shifting is difficult from the large chainring to the
small chainring
If the chain falls to the bottom bracket side.
If the gear shifting to the small chainring is stiff and
difficult to carry out after trimming.
Be sure to read these service instructions in conjunction with the service instructions for the
ST-4600 / ST-5700 / ST-6700 / SL-4600 before use.
Tightening torque:
6 - 7 N·m {52 - 60 in. lbs.}
After taking up the initial slack in
the cable, re-secure to the front
derailleur as shown in the
illustration.

Turn the outer casing adjustment barrel
clockwise (1/8 of a turn at a time) until
shifting to the small chainring becomes
smooth. Be careful not to turn the outer
casing adjustment barrel too far at this time,
otherwise shifting to the large chainring will
become more difficult.
