Rear Derailleur Skips Shifts While Riding - LeMond Revolution Service Manual

Rear derailleur skips shifts while riding

Note: We designed the Revolution to be compatible with a large variety of bicycles, however, there are some
cases where the derailleur may not be fully compatible with the cassette. If skipped and missed shifts
1. Check that the bicycle is mounted properly according to the instructions in this manual. (p. 15)
2. Check that the derailleur and cassette styles match (Shimano®/SRAM® with Shimano®/SRAM® or
Campagnolo® with Campagnolo®). If they do not match, follow the steps in this manual to change
the cassette. (p. 22)
3. Check that the derailleur and cassette are set up for the same number of shifts (i.e. 10-speed derail-
leur with 10-speed cassette).
4. Check for lateral play in cassette adaptor. If you installed a new cassette, make sure that all spacers
were installed properly.
5.
6. Check for chain stretch by measuring from the center of one rivet (pivot point) to the center of the
rivet 12 rivets away. If the distance is more than 3 1/16" you have a worn chain, and it should be
replaced. The cassette on your bicycle wheel should be inspected for wear as well.
