ADJUSTMENT
If the gears become louder than normal or start to skip and this is not due to dirt and grime on the parts,
it could be due to cable stretch. This is especially common for new bikes or where new cables have
been fitted. This can be fixed by adding tension to the cable, See cable tension instruction below.
The derailleur not being aligned properly could also cause the same issue though this usually affects the
highest and the lowest gear. In which case you will need to adjust the two limit screws LS on the outside
of the derailleur. See limit screws instruction below.

CABLE TENSION
To add tension lost due to cable stretch, place the bike in a stand. Unscrew the barrel adjuster (fig. 10)
outwards a quater turn at a time, each time pedalling the bike whilst listening for the reduction of noise. A
visual check can also be done to insure that the jocky wheel on the derailluer is aligned with the selected
sprocket on the cassette. If the bike is failing to reach the lagest sprocket this means that too much
tension has been added, screw the barrel adjuster inwards to remedy this issue (fig. 10). If this doesn't
fix the original issue, change to the smallest sprocket on the cassette, then loosen the bolt holding the
cable in place on the inside of the derailleur (fig. 7, 8). Use a small pliers to pull the inner cable IC end to
increase the cable tension and then tighten the bolt RS (fig. 8).
