actually use your gears.
To test your gears properly:
– change gears one by one, from the small cog to
the big one, then the other way
– try to go up and down quickly
– test the gear changes with all the chainrings
When changing gears on a repair stand, all you
need to do is pedal with one hand and change
gears with the other.
Lever switch setting
Make sure that the lever switch is on the OFF
position.
If the lever switch is on the
ON position, be sure to
move it to the OFF position.
(y) ON
(z) OFF
5. Does changing gears lack precision?
Check the derailleur hanger and pulleys. Changing
gears may lack precision, in other words, you can't
adjust your rear derailleur properly: the gears jump,
won't go up, or make a clicking sound. This might
be caused by:
– the derailleur pulleys: They might come lose
and move from side to side. The pulleys can be
replaced.
– the derailleur hanger: a twisted hanger means
that the derailleur isn't aligned with the cog, which
can explain this lack of precision. Replace it if it is
damaged.
6. Gear change
We recommend that you avoid pressing down too
hard on the pedals when changing gear to reduce
wear on the chain. Otherwise, the chain may wear
out more quickly than anticipated.
7. Crank Tightening
The two left-hand crank arm screws should be
clamped alternately and little by little each time,
rather than being fully clamped all at once. Using
a torque wrench, check that the final clamping
torques are indeed 14 N m. Also, after cycling
about 200 km (120 miles), use a torque wrench to
periodically re-check the tightening.
If the clamping torques are too low or the screws
are not tightened alternately little by little, the
crank arm may come off while riding the bicycle
and then you risk losing control It can also cause
the motor shaft to break.
8. Lubrication of the cables
It is very important to lubricate the rear derailleur
outer casing for smooth gear changes! This is a
little detail that makes a big difference. A little bit of
lubricant is always welcome.
You will find separate instructions for the
components in the box of accessories supplied
with the bike, or on the websites for the relevant
manufacturers. If you have any questions about
assembly, adjustments, maintenance and use,
contact your approved O2feel reseller.
Cyclists may get injured if the transmission
components are loose, worn, damaged or not
adjusted properly. Always get your rear derailleur
serviced by your approved O2feel reseller.
Always contact your approved O2feel reseller
if:
•
Your chain jumps, or
•
You hear an unusual noise, or
•
The gears do not change seamlessly, or
•
The gear changing mechanism, the derailleur or
any other component of the drivetrain system is
not tightened properly, damaged or twisted, or
•
The chain is faulty or worn.
2.5.3 Wheels
Checking the wheels
The wheels are the point of contact between the
bike and the ground. Ground surface irregularities
and the weight of the cyclist put a significant strain
on wheels.
The wheels are carefully checked and aligned
before delivery. However, the spokes will align
themselves over the first few miles that you cycle.
