25 Shift System Parts of the Shift System: • Left-hand Shift Lever (A) operates the Front Derailleur (B). • Right-hand Shift Lever (C) operates the Rear Derailleur (D). • Front Sprocket Set (E). • Rear Sprocket Set (F). D B E F C A Operation: Operate the shift system as follows: 1. The rider turns the rear shift control around the handlebar[...]

26 CAUTION: Do not force the shift levers. Shift only when pedaling forward and without strong force. Do not backpedal. Backpedaling can cause the chain to come off the sprockets. Backpedaling and shifting while not pedaling can damage the sprockets and stretch the cable wire. There is no “correct gear” in which to ride the bicycle. The “corr[...]

27 These are the higher gear combinations. E D g 17 They allow you to pedal harder and at a slower rhythm, but with more distance trav- eled per pedal revolution. For the best performance in this case, do not use the largest rear sprocket (E). On bicycles with three front sprockets, you may wish to keep the chain on the middle front sprocket (F)[...]

28 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.

29 Put the “high” adjusting screw (E) in the correct position as follows: • Shift the chain onto the largest front sprocket and the smallest rear sprocket. • T urn the “high” adjusting screw (E) so the right inside edge of the chain cage and the chain just do not touch. NOTE: If the shift lever does not move easily: • If the shift cab[...]

30 Rear Derailleur Adjustments The rear derailleur has two adjusting screws. The “low” adjusting screw , sometimes marked “L”, limits how far the rear derailleur and chain can move toward the wheel. The “high” adjusting screw , sometimes marked “H”, limits how far the rear derailleur and chain can move away from the wheel. 1 2 3 4 5[...]

31 Put the “low” adjusting Screw in the correct position as follows: • Shift the chain onto the largest rear Sprocket (F). • Loosen Nut of the cable clamp. • T urn the “low” adjusting Screw (H) so the Jockey Roller is exactly below the larg- est rear sprocket. • T ighten the Nut of the cable clamp. Adjust the Index Shift System ( ?[...]

32 Three-Piece Cranks (various models) Maintenance: Both Crank Arms (A) were tightened to the spindle (B) at the factory .

If either crank arm has loosened during this “break-in” period, re-tighten or have it tightened by a bicycle service shop. A B g[...]

33 Suspension Frame (various models) Adjustment: The bicycle may have an adjustable shock-absorbing suspension. Y ou can change the suspension, as you prefer , for a softer or a fi rmer ride. W ARNING: Make sure there are at least two threads showing (C) above the Adjusting Nut (A) so the shock does not come loose. T o change the suspension: • F[...]

34 T ires Maintenance: • Frequently check the tire in fl ation pressure because all tires lose air slowly over time. For extended storage, keep the weight of the bicycle off the tires. • Do not use unregulated air hoses to in fl ate the tire/tubes. An unregulated hose can suddenly over in fl ate bicycle tires and cause them to burst. • Rep[...]

35 Repair and Service W ARNING: • Inspect the bicycle frequently . Failure to inspect the bicycle and to make repairs or adjustments, as necessary , can result in injury to the rider or to others. Make sure all parts are correctly assembled and adjusted as written in this manual and any “Special Instructions”. • Immediately replace any dama[...]
