Torque Wrench 2. Hex Wrenches 3. 5mm Hex Bit 4. Chain Breaker 5. Cable Cutter 6. Philips Head Screwdriver 2 Part I Attach the derailleur to the bike with a 5mm hex wrench. Make sure the b-tension screw is above the derailleur dropout and engages directly with the hanger tab. 3 Part II Tighten the rear derailleur fixing bolt to 8 10Nm with a 5mm hex bit. Check to make sure that the derailleur can rotate freely. 8~10 Nm 4 Part I Adjust the high-limit screw until the center of the guide pulley aligns with the outer edge of the smallest cog. 5 Part I Every frame manufacturer has different cable routing guidelines, so make sure you consult those before cutting the housing. If the housing is too short, it will rotate the derailleur back and forth at the attachment bolt. If the housing is too long, there will be too much friction between the shift cable and housing. You want the housing to go straight into the housing stop with a gentle bend. 6 Part Il Put your shifter into the small cog/highest gear position. Route the cable through the housing and to the rear derailleur. Pull the cable tight to remove slack and secure the cable fixing bolt. Route the cable underneath the cable fixing bolt and washer. Make sure the cable is resting in the groove under the washer. Tighten to 5 7Nm. 5-7 Nm 7 Cut the cable and attach the cable end. Part III 8 Part I Wrap the chain around the largest chainring and the largest cassette cog without routing through the rear derailleur. 9 Part Il Stretch the chain tight. Place two inner links next to each other on the chainring. Add one extra inner link and make your cut there. 10 Cut the chain using a chain breaker. Part Ill 11 Part IV Route the chain over the smallest cog, in front of the guide pulley, behind the derailment prevention plate, and behind the tension pulley. Wrap the chain around the chainring and connect the chain according to the chain manufacturer's instruction manual. 12 Part I Shift from the smallest cog to the 2nd smallest cog. If the chain doesn't move, turn the barrel adjuster on the derailleur counter-clockwise. Repeat until the derailleur shifts to the 2nd smallest cog. 13 Part Il Now make several shifts up and down the cassette. If shifting is slow to move to a larger cog, turn the barrel adjuster counter-clockwise. If the shifting is slow to move to a smaller cog, turn the barrel adjuster clockwise. 14 Part I Shift to the largest cog on the cassette. Using your hand, try to push the rear derailleur past the largest cog. If the derailleur can move past the cog, adjust the low limit screw. PUSH 15 DO NOT PASS Part II Tighten the low limit screw until you can't move the derailleur past the largest cog. Shift down and back up to the largest cog. If it is slow to shift to the largest cog, loosen the low limit screw. 16 Part I Adjust the B-tension screw until there is 5-6mm of distance between the guide pulley and the tallest teeth of the largest cog. 5-6 mm 17
