Shift the chain to the smallest cog (see drawing on pg. 28). Loosen the
cable anchor bolt on the derailleur and pull the cable tight with pli-
ers. Re-tighten the cable anchor bolt.
Note that there are two screws placed one above the other on the rear
derailleur body. One is for making high gear adjustments, the other
for making low gear adjustments. Set the high gear adjusting screw
first by spinning the pedals and slowly shifting the chain onto the
smallest rear cog and largest chainring. Loosen the cable clamp bolt
on the rear derailleur and free the cable. Turn the rear derailleur's
high gear adjustment screw until the outer side of the small cog, the
two derailleur pulleys and the chains are all in alignment.
To set the low gear adjusting screw, shift the chain to the largest rear
cog. Stand at the back of the bicycle and adjust the low gear adjusting
screw to make sure that the large cog, the two derailleur pulleys and
the chain are in alignment. You may need to turn the rear derailleur's
adjusting barrel until they are in line. Re-tighten the low gear adjust-
ing screw until it meets resistance. Please note, care must be taken so
as not to adjust the adjustment screw so that the rear derailleur can
shift into the spokes of the rear wheel.

FRONT DERAILLEUR
Check the alignment of the front derailleur system: the outer plate of
the front derailleur should be almost parallel to the large chainwheel.
The lower edge of the outer plate should be 1mm to 3mm (1/16 to
1/8 inch) above the teeth on the large chainwheel when it is directly
above.
Shift the chain so that it is on the largest cog in the back and the small-
est chain ring on the front. Turn the low gear adjusting screw until the
chain is about 1mm-1.5mm from the inner chain guide, i.e. until it just
clears the inner cage of the derailleur.
