Before putting the cable in, adjust the low setting on the derailleur: With no cable, shift the chain to the
biggest cog and put the chain on the little chainring. The chain should have approximately 1mm clearance
between the chain and the inside plate of the derailleur Back out the inside screw on top of the derailleur to
move the unit inward, towards bottom bracket. Once the 1mm is set, put the cable through the deraileur arm.
Make sure the adjustment at the shifter is most of the the way screwed into the shifter. Tighten down the
holding screw on the derailleur arm. Shift the shifter into middle chainring position. You eventually want the
same 1mm between the chain and inner plate. Back the adjustment screw out to increase cable tension and move
plate outwards. You may have to reset the cable on the derailleur arm if more adjustment is needed.
Next, shift to the big ring and shift to the smallest cog in back. You should have 1mm of clearance between
the chain and the outside plate now. Adjust the outer screw on the top of the derailleur to get this. Back the
screw out to move it towards the outside. Tighten the the bolt holding the cable and go for a ride.
