After tensioning the Bowden cable check whether the chain readily
climbs onto the next larger sprocket. To find out you either have to turn
the cranks by hand or ride the bicycle and change gears.
If the chain readily climbs onto the next larger sprocket, check whether
it also readily shifts to the small sprockets when you change to a high-
er gear. You may need several tries to get the derailleur system properly
adjusted.
6.3.2. Adjusting the Limit Stops
The rear derailleur is equipped with limit screws which limit the swivel
range of the rear derailleur, thus preventing the rear derailleur and chain
from colliding with the spokes or the chain from dropping off the smallest
sprocket. The limit screws are adjusted by your STEVENS dealer. They do
not alter their position during normal use. After a fall you should however
always check the proper adjustment.
• Shift with the right shifting lever to the highest gear. The inner cable
is then totally relaxed and the chain will run on the smallest sprocket.
Look from the rear of the bicycle at the cassette and check whether the
teeth of the smallest sprocket and the teeth of the guide pulley are all
in a perfectly vertical line.
• 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.
The Gears
6.3. Checking and Readjusting the Mechanical
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 larger sprocket.
6.3.1. Rear Derailleur
In the case of imprecise shifting increase the tension of the Bowden cable
by turning the adjusting bolt through which the Bowden cable runs into
the rear derailleur or at the cable stop in the area of the down tube. To do
so, shift to the smallest sprocket and turn the clicking bolts anticlockwise
in half turns until the cable is slightly tensioned.
Caution:
If your bicycle has tipped over
or the rear derailleur received
a blow, the rear derailleur or
its mount might be bent. It is
advisable to check its range
of movement and readjust
the limit screws, if necessary,
after such an incident or after
mounting new wheels on your
bicycle.
Caution:
Adjusting the front and rear
derailleur accurately is a job
for an experienced mechanic.
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.
