Shimano Dura Ace R9100 Forskifter

Dette nye design åbner muligheden for flere kabelføringer og det absolute pluspunkt er muligheden for at justere kabelspændingen ved hjælp af en lille unbrakoskrue.

Teknologier

• Tilpasset racerspecifik rammedesign.
• Integreret justering af kabelspændingen.
• Ny linkkonstruktion, så at du ikke længere behøver TL-FD90 til at bestemme den korrekte kabelføring.
• Total kapacitet: 16T
• Vægt: 69 gram

Montering

Reduce the tension on the gear cable
Before starting to (dis)assemble, shift the front derailleur to the smallest blade. That way the tension on the gear cable is smaller, making it easier to release the derailleur.

Disconnect the gear cable
Use an Allen wrench to disconnect the shift cable from the derailleur. An Allen key can be found here.

Disassemble the bike chain
Before you can remove the derailleur, you must remove the chain. You will need a chain breaker or missing link pliers for this. The chain breaker can be found here and the missing link pliers can be found here.

Position the front derailleur
When installing, make sure to leave a gap of about 2 mm between the outer edge of the derailleur and the largest chainring.

Adjust your derailleur
It is important to properly adjust the derailleur after mounting. This is a meticulous job, which you can read all about here.

Tips til brug

Grease the pivot points for proper operation
It is good to lubricate the pivot points and the cable with some oil from time to time. This keeps the front derailleur shifting smoothly. Good oils that you can use not only for this, but also for lubricating the rest of the drivetrain, can be found here.
