Tatūnga me te Tāuta
Proper installation is crucial for optimal performance. If you are unsure about any steps, it is recommended to seek assistance from a professional bicycle mechanic.
- Check Derailleur Hanger: Ensure your bike's derailleur hanger is straight and undamaged. A bent hanger will compromise shifting performance.
- Attach Derailleur: Secure the SRAM X3 Rear Derailleur to the derailleur hanger using a 5mm hex wrench. Tighten to the manufacturer's recommended torque specifications.
- Tāuta Raina: If replacing a chain, ensure it is the correct length for your drivetrain. A chain breaker tool may be required. Consider upgrading to a quick link for easier future maintenance.
- Taura Ara: Route the shift cable through the appropriate housing and attach it to the derailleur's cable anchor bolt.
- Whakatikatika i ngā tīwiri here: Set the high (H) and low (L) limit screws to prevent the chain from shifting beyond the smallest and largest cogs, respectively.
- Whakatikatika i te tīwiri B-Gension: Adjust the B-tension screw to ensure proper clearance between the upper jockey wheel and the largest cog of the cassette.
- Te Whakarerekētanga Whakatikatika: Use the barrel adjuster on the shifter or derailleur to fine-tune cable tension for smooth and precise shifts across all gears.
For detailed visual guidance, consult a professional bike mechanic or refer to SRAM's official installation videos for similar derailleur models.
Nga Tohutohu Whakahaere
The SRAM X3 Rear Derailleur operates with a 1:1 actuation ratio, providing consistent and reliable shifting. To operate:
- Shifting Up (to a smaller cog): Press the smaller lever or twist the shifter grip to move the chain to a smaller, harder-to-pedal cog. This is typically used for increasing speed on flat terrain or downhill.
- Shifting Down (to a larger cog): Press the larger lever or twist the shifter grip to move the chain to a larger, easier-to-pedal cog. This is ideal for climbing hills or reducing effort.
- Smooth Shifting: Always ease off the pedals slightly when shifting to allow the chain to move smoothly between cogs. Avoid shifting under heavy load.
Te tiaki
Regular maintenance extends the life and performance of your derailleur:
- Te horoi: Periodically clean the derailleur, especially the jockey wheels, to remove dirt and grime. Use a degreaser and a brush, then rinse and dry thoroughly.
- Whakahinuhinu: Apply a small amount of bicycle-specific lubricant to the pivot points of the derailleur and the chain. Wipe off any excess.
- Taura me te Whare: Inspect the shift cable and housing for fraying, kinks, or corrosion. Replace them if any damage is found to maintain smooth shifting.
- Te Whakaritenga o te Whakairi: Regularly check the derailleur hanger for alignment. Even minor bends can affect shifting.
- Te Maama o te Poka: Ensure all mounting bolts are securely tightened to prevent movement and ensure safety.
Raparongoā
| Raruraru | Take pea | Rongoā |
|---|---|---|
| Poor or Slow Shifting | Incorrect cable tension, dirty/worn cable or housing, bent derailleur hanger. | Adjust barrel adjuster, replace cable/housing, check and straighten hanger. |
| Chain Skipping or Jumping | Worn chain/cassette, incorrect limit screw settings, bent derailleur hanger. | Replace worn components, adjust limit screws, check and straighten hanger. |
| Derailleur Noise | Lack of lubrication, misaligned derailleur, B-tension screw incorrect. | Lubricate pivot points, adjust B-tension, check hanger alignment. |
| Cannot Shift to Smallest/Largest Cog | Limit screws set too tight. | Loosen the respective H or L limit screw slightly. |
