If necessary, correct the position by means of the limit screws. The limit
screws on rear derailleurs are often marked “H” for high gear and “L” for
low gear. In this case high gear stands for high transmission ratio, i.e.
with the chain running on the smallest sprocket.
If the screws are not marked, you will have to find out by trial and error.
Turn one of the screws counting the number of turns and watch the rear
derailleur. If it does not move, you are turning the wrong one. Turn back
the counted rotations to find its original position.
Turn the screw clockwise to shift the rear derailleur towards the wheel
and anticlockwise to shift it away from the wheel.
Continue by shifting the rear derailleur to the largest sprocket. Be care-
ful as you do so, as not to let the rear derailleur collide with the spokes.
When the chain runs on the biggest sprocket, see whether you can take
the rear derailleur even further by moving the shift lever to the end of
its travel. Then press the rear derailleur further towards the spokes by
hand. Spin the wheel. If the derailleur cage moves towards the spokes or
if the chain begins to move beyond the largest sprocket, the derailleur
movement range needs to be limited. Turn the limit screw marked “L
clockwise until the rear derailleur is clear of the spokes.
6.1.2.3. Front Derailleur
Adjusting the front derailleur is a delicate job. The range within which the
front derailleur keeps the chain on the chainring without itself touching
the chain is very small. It is often better to let the chain drag slightly on the
derailleur than to risk having the chain fall o the chainring, which would
block the drive. The swivelling range is reduced in the same way as with
the rear derailleur, i.e. by turning the limit screws marked “H“ and “L. This
is a job you should leave to your STEVENS dealer.
As with the rear derailleur, the cable of the front derailleur is subject to
lengthening and hence to reduced precision in gear changing.
If necessary, shift to the small chainring and increase the tension of the
Bowden cable by turning the adjusting bolt through which it passes at
the entry to the gear shifter.
The Gears
Caution:
Adjusting the front and rear
derailleur accurately is a job
for an experienced mechan-
ic. Be sure to also read the
operating instructions of
the gear manufacturer on
the STEVENS CD-ROM. If you
have any problems with the
gears, please contact your
STEVENS dealer.
Caution:
Always check after an
accident whether the guide
plates of the front derail-
leur are still parallel to the
chainrings!
Danger:
Be sure to go on a test ride
in a place free of traffic,
after adjusting the gears of
your bicycle.
Danger:
Adjusting the front derailleur
is a very delicate job. Improper
adjustment can cause the chain
to jump off, thus interrupting
suddenly the drive force. This can
cause a fall!
