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.
