What does the L screw do on a rear derailleur?
The L-limit stops the derailleur from moving inward (toward the spokes). The limit screw does not make the derailleur move, pulling the inner wire makes the derailleur move. The L-screw allows the pulley wheels to shift the chain to the innermost sprocket and yet not shift off the sprocket into the spokes.
How do you adjust the rear derailleur on a SRAM Red Etap?
You can micro adjust the rear derailleur while riding. To move the rear derailleur outboard to eliminate the noise, just hold down the function button of the right shifter, execute a “shift,” then release the function button after the adjustment is made.
What does the H and L mean on a derailleur?
You need to adjust the high (H) and low (L) limit screws on the derailleur. Viewed from behind the bike, the H screw limits how far the derailleur can move to the right, while the L screw limits how far the derailleur can move to the left.
Where is the barrel adjuster on the rear derailleur?
As this happens, it is common to have to tighten the cable to preserve smooth shifting. To do this, you will use the barrel adjuster. This device is usually located near where your cable exits the housing on the rear derailleur.
What is SRAM cage lock?
Cage Lock Technology. The first rear derailleur of its kind, SRAM TYPE 2 lets you push your cage forward and lock it into place with the push of a button. This creates slack, removing all tension from the chain.
How do you adjust a high and low derailleur?
If the limit is set too far towards the spokes, turn the L-Screw clockwise and the derailleur moves to the right. Should the limit be set too tight and the chain cannot climb to the largest sprocket, turn the L-Screw counter clockwise until the sprocket and pulley are aligned perfectly.
How do I adjust the rear derailleur limit?
Hop off your bike and do this: Shift your chain into the biggest chainring and smallest cog, then loosen the cable clamp bolt (where the cable attaches to the derailleur). Leave the derailleur in the smallest cog and adjust the high limit screw. Push the derailleur in the largest cog and adjust the low limit screw.
Which way do you turn a SRAM barrel adjuster?
To do this, turn the barrel adjuster (see below) counter clockwise. If the chain is not shifting well from the largest to the smallest chainring, then the inner wire tension needs to be lowered. To do this, turn the barrel adjuster clockwise.
