With proper care and maintenance, your new Gary Fisher bicycle will give you riding pleasure for years to come. [. . . ] After the shift, the rear derailleur should be positioned such that it does not rub on the chain. The chain should not fall off the inner or outer cogs at any time. Adjustment Left Shift lever/Front derailleur To make the low gear adjustment on the front derailleur, first shift the chain onto the smallest front chainring and the largest cassette cog. Turn the low gear adjusting screw (usually marked "L") until the inner chain guide of the derailleur is approximately 0. 5 mm from the chain. While pulling on the front derailleur cable, push the left finger shift lever several times to ensure that the shifter is in the small chainring position. Screw the adjusting barrel on the left shifter to its most clockwise position. Pull the front derailleur cable taut, insert the cable in the groove found above the derailleur cable clamp bolt, and tighten the cable clamp bolt to 32-52 lb·in (3. 6-5. 9 Nm). To make the high gear adjustment on the front derailleur, shift the rear derailleur to the smallest cog. Next, turn the high gear adjusting screw (usually marked "H") counterclockwise until it cannot interfere with the motion of the derailleur. While pedaling the bicycle with your hand, carefully shift onto the outside chainring. Position the front derailleur with the left thumb shift lever so that the outer chain guide of the front derailleur is approximately 0. 5 mm from the chain. If you have turned it too far, the front derailleur will move toward the smaller chainring. Right Shift lever/Rear derailleur 30 To make the high gear adjustment on the rear derailleur, shift the chain onto the smallest rear cog and the largest front chainring, then loosen the rear derailleur cable clamp bolt until the cable is free. Stand behind the bicycle to see that the smallest rear cog, the chain, and the two derailleur pulleys are in line. If they are not aligned, turn the high gear adjusting screw (usually marked "H") until this line is established. While pulling on the rear derailleur cable, push the right finger shift lever until the shifter is in the small cog position. Screw the adjusting barrel on the right shift lever to it's most clockwise position. Screw the adjusting barrel on the rear derailleur to it's most clockwise position, and then rotate it one turn counter-clockwise. Pull the shift cable taut, insert the cable into the clamp bolt groove on the rear derailleur, and tighten the cable clamp bolt to 32-52 lb·in (3. 6-5. 9 Nm). To make the low gear adjustment on the rear derailleur, first turn the low gear adjusting screw on the rear derailleur (usually marked "L") far enough counter-clockwise so that it will not restrict the movement of the derailleur. While pedaling the bicycle with your hand, carefully shift the chain onto the smallest front chainring and the largest rear cog. Do not over-shift the rear derailleur, or the chain may wedge between the large cog and the spokes. Turn the low gear adjusting screw clockwise until it meets resistance. If you have turned it too far, the derailleur will move toward the outside of the bicycle. [. . . ] For best results, the lights should be carefully aimed to provide the best blend of brightness and distance for your style of riding, as well as the best location in front of your bike (generally centered directly in front of the bike). Remember that your field of vision may be diminished when riding at night, even with the headlight on. Also remember that although you have your lights on, you will be less visible than during daytime riding. WARNING Always ride defensively! 52 In addition to aiming the lights on your bike and keeping the lenses clean for maximum illumination, you may have to replace the light bulbs occasionally. It is recommended that you do this every six months because no warning will precede the burning out of a light bulb. [. . . ]
