Adjustment of gears must be carried out with the bike FULLY UNFOLDED (i.e. NOT parked).

Also (fig AR5), if the indic- ator chain GICH has

been detached from the adjustor, A, for any

reason (say for wheel removal), make sure the

indicator rod is screwed fully home inside the

hub (and backed off not more than half a turn),

before connecting to the adjustor.

While setting hub gears, always back and

forward pedal a bit before checking a setting,

and back pedal while changing gear. The cable

is made tighter by pushing the adjustor further

onto the grooved end B of the indicator chain: to

obtain a looser setting, the spring clip C has to

be depressed.

You can usually get things right first time by moving the trigger into the top gear, pulling on the

adjustor (away from the pulley housing CPULA), and then feeding the grooved end B of the

indicator chain into the adjustor until it is just not loose, i.e. WITHOUT pulling the indicator chain

out of the axle at all.

The setting is correct when

a) with the trigger in top ("3"), the cable is just slack, in other words neither flopping around at all

nor taut (if, when you try pulling the adjustor away from the CPULA, you can see any movement of

the indicator chain back into the axle where it enters it, then the setting is too tight).

b) with the trigger in low ("1"), the indicator chain (where it enters the end of the axle) should either

move not at all, or perhaps up to 1mm, when you pull the adjustor towards the CPULA (if it moves

more than this, then the setting is probably too loose: on the other hand, if, while back-pedalling

and moving the trigger slowly from position 2 to 1, you see that the indicator chain stops moving

out of the end of the axle before the trigger has clicked into position 1, then the setting is too

tight), and

c) when pedalling forwards (under no load) and changing through the 3 gears both up and down,

all three gears are positively selected.

If you need to make any further adjustment, always select top gear and back and forward pedal a

bit first. If you cannot obtain a satisfactory setting, then the most likely cause is either the cable

not running freely, or damage to the indicator chain itself, where it runs into the axle end.

Otherwise, the fault may be with the hub internals.
