- They allow you to pedal easier and at a faster rhythm, but with less distance traveled per pedal
revolution
- For the best performance in this case, do not use the smallest rear sprocket [3]
- When riding downhill or with the wind, you may
wish to keep the chain on the largest front
sprocket [4] and shift the chain on the rear
sprocket cluster
- These are the higher gear combinations
- They allow you to pedal harder and at a slower
rhythm, but with more distance traveled per pedal
revolution
- For the best performance in this case, do not use the largest rear sprocket [5]
- On bicycles with three front sprockets, you may
wish to keep the chain on the middle front
sprocket [6] and shift the chain on the rear

General 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.
The front derailleur has two adjusting screws. The “low” adjusting screw, sometimes marked “L”,
limits how far the front derailleur and chain can move toward the frame. The “high” adjusting
screw, sometimes marked “H”, limits how far the front derailleur
and chain can move away from the frame.
1. Put the “low” adjusting screw in the correct position as
follows:
- Shift the chain onto the third largest rear sprocket and
the smallest front sprocket
- Loosen nut of the cable clamp [16]
