Wear of the wheel rims

Like any other part that is subject to wear, the wheel rim should be checked regularly. The brake pads
wear the wheel rim down over time. The wheel rim can weaken and break, causing you to lose control
and fall.
WARNING: It is very important to check the wear of the wheel rims. If the mark
becomes invisible with a V-brake, it means that the wheel rim has reached its
maximum wear for safe use. A damaged wheel rim can be very dangerous and
needs to be replaced. Adjust the brake pads to maintain a spacing of 1 to 1.5 mm
with the wheel rim.
V. Adjusting the gear-changing system
Your bicycle has several manually interchangeable speeds with a
Shimano RevoShift system with a rear derailleur. Use the right
handle to make the desired change.
The higher the indicator, the more difficult it will be to pedal and
vice versa.
Careful, never pedal backwards while changing gears and never
force the command lever.
For an optimum use of the gear-changing system, we recommend
avoiding changing gear other than during heavy pedalling sessions.

Adjusting the limit screws

The derailleur's range of movement can be adjusted with the H and L screws.
The L screw allows you to adjust the upper limit (on the side of the largest
sprocket).
When you loosen the L screw, the chain is positioned more towards the
outside of the largest sprocket.
The H screw allows you to adjust the lower limit (on the side of the smallest
sprocket).
When you loosen the H screw, the chain is positioned more towards the
outside of the smallest sprocket.
These actions are performed by a quarter of a turn at a time. At each
adjustment, you should achieve a perfect alignment between the sprocket,
the chain and the pulley of the rear derailleur.

Adjusting the cable tension

To adjust a sprocket change, use the barrel adjuster on the rear derailleur. This barrel adjuster allows you to
adjust the derailleur cable tension.
