2. Turvallisuustiedot

VAROITUS:

• Käytä aina asianmukaisia ​​suojavarusteita, mukaan lukien silmäsuojaimia, polkupyörän osia asennettaessa tai huollettaessa.
• Ensure all bolts are tightened to the manufacturer's specified torque settings. Overtightening or undertightening can lead to component failure.
• Jos olet epävarma jostakin asennus- tai säätömenettelystä, ota yhteyttä ammattitaitoiseen polkupyörämekaanikkoon.
• Keep hands and clothing clear of moving parts, especially the chain and cogs, during operation and adjustment.

3. Komponentti ohiview

The microSHIFT Estes RD-M220L Rear Derailleur consists of several key parts:

• Derailleur Body: The main structure housing the pivot points and springs.
• Häkki: The long cage assembly that guides the chain, including the upper and lower jockey wheels.
• B-kiristysruuvi: Adjusts the distance between the upper jockey wheel and the largest cassette cog.
• High (H) Limit Screw: Prevents the derailleur from shifting the chain beyond the smallest cog.
• Low (L) Limit Screw: Prevents the derailleur from shifting the chain beyond the largest cog.
• Cable Anchor Bolt: Secures the shift cable to the derailleur.

4. Asennus ja asetukset

4.1 Tarvittavat työkalut

• Kuusiokoloavaimet (yleensä 5 mm)
• Kaapelileikkurit
• Momenttiavain (suositus)
• Polkupyörän rasva

4.2 Derailleur Mounting

1. Apply a small amount of grease to the derailleur hanger threads on your bicycle frame.
2. Thread the derailleur mounting bolt into the hanger. Ensure the B-knuckle tab is correctly positioned against the hanger stop.
3. Tighten the mounting bolt to the manufacturer's specified torque (typically 8-10 Nm).

4.3 Ketjun asennus

1. Route the chain through the front derailleur (if applicable), over the smallest chainring, and then through the rear derailleur cage. Ensure the chain passes correctly over the upper and lower jockey wheels.
2. Connect the chain using a master link or chain pin according to the chain manufacturer's instructions.

4.4 Cable Routing and Attachment

1. Route the shift cable from your shifter through the frame's cable guides and into the derailleur's cable housing stop.
2. Pull the cable taut and secure it under the cable anchor bolt. Do not overtighten initially.

4.5 Limit Screw Adjustment (H and L)

Limit screws prevent the chain from shifting off the smallest or largest cog.

1. High (H) Limit: Shift the chain to the smallest cog on the cassette. Adjust the H-screw so that the upper jockey wheel is directly aligned with the smallest cog. The chain should run smoothly without rubbing.
2. Low (L) Limit: Shift the chain to the largest cog on the cassette. Adjust the L-screw so that the upper jockey wheel is directly aligned with the largest cog. The chain should run smoothly without rubbing.

4.6 B-jännityksen säätö

B-kiristysruuvi säätää ylemmän tukipyörän ja kasettivaihteiston hammaspyörien välistä rakoa.

1. Shift the chain to the largest cog on the cassette.
2. Adjust the B-tension screw until there is a gap of approximately 5-6mm between the top of the largest cog and the top of the upper jockey wheel. This ensures smooth shifting and prevents the jockey wheel from rubbing the cassette.

5. Käyttö

The microSHIFT Estes RD-M220L derailleur operates in conjunction with a compatible 7, 8, or 9-speed shifter. Shifting is achieved by pulling or releasing the shift cable, which moves the derailleur cage laterally across the cassette.

• Upshifting (to smaller cogs): Press the shifter lever to release cable tension, allowing the derailleur to move the chain to smaller cogs.
• Downshifting (to larger cogs): Press the shifter lever to pull the cable, moving the derailleur to larger cogs.

For optimal performance, avoid shifting under heavy pedaling load. Ease off the pedals slightly during shifts for smoother transitions and to prolong drivetrain component life.

6. Huolto

Säännöllinen huolto varmistaa vaihtajasi pitkän käyttöiän ja optimaalisen suorituskyvyn.

6.1 Puhdistus

• Periodically clean the derailleur body, cage, and jockey wheels with a degreaser and brush.
• Huuhtele huolellisesti vedellä ja kuivaa kokonaan.

6.2 Voitelu

• Apply a small amount of bicycle chain lubricant to the pivot points of the derailleur and the jockey wheel bearings.
• Pyyhi ylimääräinen voiteluaine pois lian kertymisen estämiseksi.

6.3 Tarkastus

• Tarkista säännöllisesti vääntyneet vaihtajan korvakkeet, jotka voivat aiheuttaa huonon vaihteenvaihdon.
• Inspect jockey wheels for wear. Worn jockey wheels can lead to noisy operation and inefficient shifting. Replace if necessary.
• Tarkista kaikkien pulttien oikea kireys.
