-They allow you to pedal easier and at a faster rhythm, but with less distance traveled per pedal revolution
-For the best performance in this case, do not use the smallest rear sprocket [3]
-When riding downhill or with the wind, you may wish to keep the chain on the largest front sprocket [4] and shift the chain on the rear sprocket cluster
-These are the higher gear combinations
-They allow you to pedal harder and at a slower
rhythm, but with more distance traveled per pedal revolution
-For the best performance in this case, do not use the largest rear sprocket [5]
-On bicycles with three front sprockets, you may wish to keep the chain on the middle front sprocket [6] and shift the chain on the rear sprocket cluster
-These gear combinations are middle range which
overlap some of the higher and some of the lower gear combinations.
General Adjustments
These instructions describe most adjustments that the shift system may need. If you can not adjust the shift system using these instructions, have a bicycle service shop do the adjustments that are needed.
The front derailleur has two adjusting screws. The “low” adjusting screw, sometimes marked “L”, limits how far the front derailleur and chain can move toward the frame. The “high” adjusting screw, sometimes marked “H”, limits how far the front derailleur
and chain can move away from the frame.
1.Put the “low” adjusting screw in the correct position as follows:
-Shift the chain onto the third largest rear sprocket and the smallest front sprocket
-Loosen nut of the cable clamp [16]
