► Gear shift systems
►► Derailleur gears
If correctly maintained, good derailleur gears are very efficient, and allow the realisa-
tion of almost any gear ratio. However, they do require care and maintenance (see
the appropriate section).
Derailleur gears on ROTWILD
MTBs/Racing bikes are delivered correctly
adjusted by the manufacturer or your
dealer. However, control cable stretching
may make it necessary to perform further
adjustments later on, particularly when
your bike is new. In the case of derailleur
gears, it is important to consider that not
all theoretically possible ratios should
actually be used. Because, if the chain is
constantly running in a diagonal, the wear
on chain and gear rings is particularly high
and reduces efficiency.
Please follow our gear changing recom-
mendations! The following combinations
should be avoided:
Largest chain ring with largest rear
·
sprocket
Smallest chain ring with smallest rear
·
sprocket Chain
A straighter chain line means less wear.
►► Hub gears – Rohloff
If you prefer to use hub gears from
Rohloff, we can provide a special dropout
inlay with integrated brake torque support.
You can easily exchange this for your
standard inlay.
