Tips on how to change gear cor-
rectly
• To prevent unnecessary wear and
damage to your gear system, you
should always change gear smoothly
and without excessive force and
always continue pedalling as long
is the chain is changing from one chain
wheel or sprocket to another.
• Changing gear under load may shorten
or seriously damage the chain, parti
cularly when changing gear with the
front derailleur.
• Always change gear in such a way that
the angle of the chain between the
chain wheels and sprockets is not
too large. A combination of a large
chain wheel and a large sprocket, for
instance, provides no benefits when
under way, it only increases wear on
the chain and sprockets.

Important!
The chain gear shift system of
your Mercedes-Benz Bike has been
thoroughly checked and adjusted
before delivery. Adjustments to the
system should only be carried out
by an experienced bicycle mechanic.
Incorrect adjustments can lead to
damage of the gear shift system and
your bike and, in the worst case,
total loss of motive power. Please
read the enclosed gear shift system
manufacturer's manual.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that
you consult an approved Mercedes-
Benz dealer for adjustments, mainte-
nance and repairs to your gear shift
system.
