General Safety Information
WARNING
• If it is difficult to install the wheel, install the quick release lever on the rotor side.
If doing this, make sure that the quick release lever does not interfere with the rotor and that
burns do not occur.
• Use neutral detergent to clean the chain. Do not use alkali-based or acid based detergent such
as rust cleaners as it may result in damage and/or failure of the chain.
• Use the reinforced connecting pin only for connecting the narrow type of chain.
• There are two different types of reinforced connecting pins available. Be sure to check the table
below before selecting which pin to use. If connecting pins other than reinforced connecting pins
are used, or if a reinforced connecting pin or tool which is not suitable for the type of chain is
used, sufficient connection force may not be obtained, which could cause the chain to break or
fall off.

• If it is necessary to adjust the length of the chain due to a change
in the number of sprocket teeth, make the cut at some other place
than the place where the chain has been joined using a
reinforced connecting pin or an end pin. The chain will be
damaged if it is cut at a place where it has been joined with a
reinforced connecting pin or an end pin.
• Check that the tension of the chain is correct and that the chain is not damaged. If the tension is
too weak or the chain is damaged, the chain should be replaced. If this is not done, the chain
may break and cause serious injury.
• Obtain and read the service instructions carefully prior to installing the parts. Loose, worn or
damaged parts may cause the bicycle to fall over and serious injury may occur as a result. We
strongly recommend only using genuine Shimano replacement parts.
• Obtain and read the service instructions carefully prior to installing the parts. If adjustments
are not carried out correctly, the chain may come off and this may cause you to fall off the bicycle
which could result in serious injury.
• Read these Technical Service Instructions carefully, and keep them in a safe place for later
reference.
Note
• If gear shifting operations do not feel smooth, wash the derailleur and lubricate all moving parts.
• If the amount of looseness in the links is so great that adjustment is not possible, you should
replace the derailleur.
• You should periodically clean the derailleur and lubricate all moving parts (mechanism and
pulleys).
• If gear shifting adjustment cannot be carried out, check the degree of parallelism at the rear end
of the bicycle. Also check if the cable is lubricated and if the outer casing is too long or too short.
• If you hear abnormal noise as a result of looseness in a pulley, you should replace the pulley.
• If the chain keeps coming off the sprockets during use, replace the sprockets and the chain.
• Use a frame with internal cable routing is strongly discouraged as it has tendencies to impair the
SIS shifting function due to its high cable resistance.
• Always be sure to use the sprocket set bearing the same group marks. Never use in combination
with a sprocket bearing a different group mark.
• Use an outer casing which still has some length to spare even when the handlebars are turned
all the way to both sides. Furthermore, check that the shifting lever does not touch the bicycle
frame when the handlebars are turned all the way.
• A special grease is used for the gear shifting cable (SIS-SP41). Do not use
DURA-ACE grease or other types of grease, otherwise they may cause
deterioration in gear shifting performance.
• Grease the inner cable and the inside of the outer casing before use to
ensure that they slide properly.
• For smooth operation, use the specified outer casing and the bottom bracket
cable guide.
• Operation of the levers related to gear shifting should be made only when
the front chainwheel is turning.
• Parts are not guaranteed against natural wear or deterioration resulting from normal use.
• For maximum performance we highly recommend Shimano lubricants and maintenance products
• For any questions regarding methods of installation, adjustment, maintenance or operation,
please contact a professional bicycle dealer.
This service instruction explains how to use and maintain the Shimano bicycle parts which have been
used on your new bicycle.
For any questions regarding your bicycle or other matters which are not related to Shimano parts,
please contact the place of purchase or the bicycle manufacturer.

Note: Periodically check that there is no gap between the

is a gap between these two parts, problems with gear

SIS Adjustment
1. Top adjustment
Turn the top adjustment screw to adjust so that
the guide pulley is in line with the outer line of
the smallest sprocket when looking from the rear.
2. Low adjustment
Turn the low adjustment screw so that the guide
pulley moves to a position directly in line with the
largest sprocket.
3. Chain length on bicycles with rear suspension
SI-5W70A-005
The length of A will vary depending on the movement of the rear
suspension. Because of this, an excessive load may be placed
on the drive system if the chain length is too short. Set the
length of the chain by adding two links to the chain when the rear
Rear derailleur
suspension is at a position where dimension "A" is longest and
the chain is on the largest sprocket and the largest chainring. If
the amount of movement of the rear suspension is large, the
slack in the chain may not be taken up properly when the chain is
on the smallest chainring and smallest sprocket.

Cutting the outer casing
After cutting the outer casing, make the end round so that the
inside of the hole has a uniform diameter.
Attach the same outer
end cap to the cut end
of the outer casing.

Set the rear derailleur to the lowest gear
position, stop the wheel from turning, and then
check that the distance from the edge of the

guide pulley to the edge of the largest sprocket
is within the range of 5 - 6 mm. Turn the crank
arm to shift gears and check that there is no
roughness in the feel. If the number of teeth for the cassette
sprocket is changed, carry out this setting again.

6. SIS Adjustment
Operate the shifting lever several times to move the chain to the
2nd sprocket. Then, while pressing the lever just enough to take
up the play in the lever, turn the crank arm.

Best setting
The best setting is when the shifting lever is
operated just enough to take up the play and the
chain touches the 3rd sprocket and makes noise.
* Return the lever to its original position (the position where
the lever is at the 2nd sprocket setting and it has been
released) and then turn the crank arm clockwise. If the
