obtain a perfect alignment between the sprocket, the chain and the
pulley of the rear derailleur.
6. Adjusting the tension of the rear derailleur cable
To adjust a gear change correctly, use the wheel on the rear derailleur.
This wheel allows you to adjust the tension of the derailleur cable and
to position the derailleur correctly according to the speed selected.
7. Adjusting the chain
Your bicycle is fitted with an external rear derailleur, the chain is
automatically tensioned.
Replacing the chain
Since new chains are usually sold with too many links, the first step is
to reduce it to the correct length. The most secure way is to count the
number of links in the old chain in order to adjust the new one. To
remove the old chain, simply undo a rivet.
To fit the new chain, pass it around the chainring and the rear sprocket
so that it engages correctly on the other gear elements. To fasten the
chain closed, we recommend using a quick clamp. This acts as a
female link which will be inserted between two male links. The quick
clamp also allows you to remove the chain more easily for cleaning.
To check that the chain length is correct, install it on the small sprocket.
In this configuration, the virtual line drawn between the wheel hub of
the rear wheel and the axis of the lower derailleur pulley should be
vertical.
8. Changing the folding pedals
To replace your pedals, identify them by looking at the letter shown on
the top (on the axle or the label). The right pedal has an "R" (Right)
printed on it and the left pedal has an "L" (Left) printed on it. Turn the
pedal R clockwise to fix it onto the crank arm. Turn the L pedal anti-
clockwise.
