SHIFTERS, DERAILLEURS, AND GEARS
The right shifter controls the rear derailleur. Shift to larger cogs on the cassette for easier gears.
Shift to smaller cogs on the cassette for harder gears. You must pedal forward in order to change
gears. The left shifter controls the front derailleur. Shift to a larger chainring for a harder gear. Shift
to a smaller chainring for an easier gear. You must pedal forward in order to change gears.
The position of the shift and brake levers on the handlebar should be adjusted to fit the rider's
hand position. Consult your dealer to properly set up the shift and brake levers within reach of
the rider's hands.
Proper setup, adjustment, and maintenance of derailleurs and shifters is required for safe
operation of the bicycle. The following items must be set or adjusted for safe operation (where
applicable): Chain Length, B-Adjust Screw, Upper Limit Screw, Lower Limit Screw, and Cable
Tension (or Micro Adjust for electronic shifting). Contact your dealer or consult the drivetrain
manufacturer's user manual for adjustment procedures.
Over time, shifter cables can stretch and will need adjustment to keep shifting operations
working properly. The shifter cable tension can be adjusted at the derailleur(s) and with a barrel
adjuster on some types of shift levers. Contact your dealer to adjust the shifter cable tension
and the derailleur(s).

NOTICE
If the rear derailleur cannot be properly adjusted, it may indicate
that the derailleur hanger is bent. Consult your dealer to repair
or replace your derailleur hanger.
CHAIN
The chain must be properly sized and installed to fit your specific drivetrain. Consult your dealer
and the chain manufacturer's instructions for information on chain installation and adjustment.
A chain that is not sized properly can interfere with derailleur function or cause the chain to fall
off the chainrings. Proper chain tension is required for safe use. Consult your dealer about the
proper chain tension for your specific drivetrain and check your chain tension monthly.
