5. Adjusting the gear changing system

Your bicycle has 6 gears friction, which can be changed manually by turning shifter with a rear derailleur.
Use the handle on the right to change into the desired gear. The higher the indicator, the more difficult it will
be to pedal and vice-versa.
Careful, never pedal backwards while changing gears and never force the command lever.
For an optimum use of the gear-changing system, we recommend avoiding changing gear during heavy
pedalling sessions.
i. Adjusting the limit screws
The derailleur's range of movement can be adjusted with the H and L screws.
The L screw allows you to adjust the upper limit (on the side of the largest
sprocket). When you loosen the L screw, the chain is positioned more towards the
outside of the largest sprocket.
The H screw allows you to adjust the lower limit (on the side of the smallest
sprocket). When you loosen the H screw, the chain is positioned more towards the
outside of the smallest sprocket.
These actions are performed by a quarter of a turn at a time.
At each adjustment, you should achieve a perfect alignment between the sprocket,
the chain and the pulley of the rear derailleur.
ii. Adjusting the cable tension
To adjust the gear change, use the barrel adjuster on the rear derailleur. This barrel adjuster allows you to
adjust the derailleur cable tension.

6. Adjusting the chain

Your bicycle is equipped with an external rear derailleur, the chain is automatically tightened.
To change the chain
New chains are usually sold with too many links, the first step is to reduce it to the correct length. The safest
method is to count the number of links on the old chain in order to adjust the new one. To remove the old
chain, simply undo a rivet.
Once the chain has been removed, the new one must be fitted. To do so, it must be placed around the
chainring and the rear sprocket so that it meshes properly with the other gear elements. To fasten the chain
closed, we recommend using a quick clamp. This stands in for a female link, inserted between to male links.
The quick clamp also allows you to remove the chain more easily for cleaning.
To check that the chain length is correct, it must be put on the smallest sprocket. In this position, the virtual
line drawn between the wheel hub of the rear wheel and the axis of the lower derailleur pulley should be
vertical.
