3. Align the derailleur with the hanger and thread the mounting bolt.
4. Tighten the mounting bolt to the manufacturer's specified torque (refer to your bicycle frame or derailleur technical documentation for exact torque values).

2.3 Cable Installation and Adjustment

1. Route the shift cable from the shifter through the frame and into the derailleur's cable fixing bolt.
2. Pull the cable taut and secure it with the fixing bolt. Do not overtighten.
3. Adjust the high (H) and low (L) limit screws to prevent the chain from shifting beyond the smallest and largest cogs, respectively.
4. Perform initial B-tension adjustment to ensure proper clearance between the upper pulley and the cassette cogs.
5. Fine-tune shifting by using the barrel adjuster on the shifter or derailleur.

3. საოპერაციო ინსტრუქციები

The SHIMANO CUES LINKGLIDE derailleur is designed for smooth and reliable shifting across your 11-speed cassette.

3.1 გადაცემათა კოლოფის გადართვა

• To shift to a larger cog (easier gear), press the main lever of your shifter.
• To shift to a smaller cog (harder gear), press the release lever of your shifter.
• Always pedal forward while shifting to ensure smooth chain movement.
• Avoid shifting under heavy load, as this can cause premature wear and poor shifting performance.

4. მოვლა

Regular maintenance will extend the life of your derailleur and ensure consistent performance.

4.1 დასუფთავება

• After each ride, especially in wet or dirty conditions, wipe down the derailleur and pulleys with a clean cloth.
• Use a degreaser specifically designed for bicycle components to remove stubborn grime from the pulleys and cage. Rinse thoroughly with water and dry.

4.2 შეზეთვა

• Apply a small amount of bicycle chain lubricant to the pivot points of the derailleur and the pulley bearings periodically.
• Avoid over-lubrication, which can attract dirt. Wipe off any excess lubricant.

4.3 პერიოდული შემოწმებები

• Inspect the derailleur for any signs of damage, bends, or cracks.
• Check that all bolts are securely tightened.
• Ensure the derailleur hanger is straight and not bent. A bent hanger is a common cause of poor shifting.
• Verify that the shift cable moves freely and is not frayed.
