Front Derailleur 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.
Maintenance
The left Grip (A) shifts the chain on the front sprockets. The right Grip (B) shifts the chain on the rear sprockets.

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.
Put the “low” adjusting screw in the correct position as follows (fig 20):
•Shift the chain onto the third largest rear sprocket and the smallest front sprock- et.
•Turn the lever Barrel Adjuster (C) (fig 19) all the way IN.
•Loosen Nut (D) of the cable clamp.
•Turn the “low” adjusting screw (E) so the left inside edge of the chain cage (F) and the chain (G) just do not touch.
•Remove the slack from the cable wire and tighten the Nut of the cable clamp.
