Furthermore, this can lead to a chain-suck, i.e. the chain can get jammed
between chainstay and chainrings. Therefore, avoid shifting gears while
pedalling with force, in particular when changing gears with the front
derailleur.
Trekking and fitness bicycles are usually fitted with three chainrings and
up to ten sprockets at the rear wheel hub. According to the combination
this provides nominally a gear with up to 30 speeds.
Some gears with particular chain run should be avoided. Gears with an
extremely oblique run of the chain may cause noises and result in an in-
creased inner friction, which reduces the power transmission efficiency
and hastens wear of the chain.
An unfavourable run of the chain is when the smallest chainring (front
derailleur) is used with one of the two or three outermost (smallest)
sprockets (rear derailleur) or when the largest chainring is used with one
of the inmost (largest) sprockets. 6.1.2. Checking and Readjusting the Gears
The derailleur gears of your bicycle were carefully adjusted by your
STEVENS dealer before delivery. The Bowden cables may, however, give
way or compress the cable housings on the first kilometres making gear
changing imprecise. This will result in the chain not wanting to climb
onto the next smaller sprocket.
The Gears
Note:
Avoid gears which involve
an extremely oblique run of
the chain.
Danger:
Shifting gears under load,
i.e. while pedalling hard,
can make the chain slip.
At the front derailleur the
chain may even slip off the
chainrings when shifting
under load. Furthermore,
this can lead to a chain-
suck, i.e. the chain can get
jammed between chainstay
and chainrings. This can
result in a fall. This will at
least shorten the service
life of the chain and dam-
age the frame.
Danger: Practise shifting gears in a place free of traffic
until you are familiar with the functioning of the
different levers or twist grips. If you do so in road traffic, your attention
might be drawn off from possible risks.
