2. Hvad er der i æsken
Ved udpakning skal du kontrollere, at alle komponenter er til stede og ubeskadigede. Pakken skal indeholde:
- One Shimano RD-M310 Altus SGS Rear Derailleur
3. Opsætning og installation
Installation of the rear derailleur requires specific tools and mechanical knowledge. If you are unsure about any step, it is recommended to seek assistance from a qualified bicycle mechanic.
3.1 Montering af gearskifteren
The RD-M310 Altus SGS is a direct mount type derailleur. Ensure your bicycle frame has a compatible derailleur hanger.
- Attach the derailleur to the derailleur hanger on your bicycle frame using the mounting bolt. Tighten the bolt securely to the manufacturer's recommended torque specifications.
- Route the shift cable from the shifter through the cable housing and attach it to the derailleur's cable fixing bolt. Ensure the cable is properly seated in all guides.
3.2 Limit Screw Adjustment
Limit screws prevent the derailleur from shifting the chain off the smallest or largest cogs.
- H (High) Limit Screw: Adjust this screw so that the upper guide pulley is directly aligned with the smallest cog when the chain is on the smallest cog.
- L (Low) Limit Screw: Adjust this screw so that the upper guide pulley is directly aligned with the largest cog when the chain is on the largest cog.
3.3 B-Tension Screw Adjustment
The B-tension screw adjusts the distance between the upper guide pulley and the cogs.
- Shift the chain to the largest cog on the cassette and the smallest chainring on the crankset.
- Adjust the B-tension screw so that the upper guide pulley clears the largest cog by approximately 5-6 mm. This ensures smooth shifting and prevents the pulley from rubbing against the cogs.
3.4 Cable Tension Adjustment
Fine-tune shifting performance using the barrel adjuster.
- Shift the chain to the smallest cog.
- Shift one click towards a larger cog. If the chain does not move, turn the barrel adjuster counter-clockwise in small increments until it shifts smoothly.
- If the chain overshifts or makes noise, turn the barrel adjuster clockwise in small increments.

4. Betjeningsvejledning
The Shimano RD-M310 Altus SGS derailleur works in conjunction with your shifters to move the chain across the rear cassette cogs.
- Gearskift op (til større tandhjul): Press the appropriate lever on your shifter to move the chain to a larger cog, making pedaling easier.
- Nedgearing (til mindre tandhjul): Press the other lever on your shifter to move the chain to a smaller cog, making pedaling harder and allowing for higher speeds.
- Always pedal forward while shifting. Avoid shifting under heavy load to prevent damage to the drivetrain components.
- Shift one gear at a time for smoother transitions and to prolong component life.
5. Vedligeholdelse
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your derailleur.
- Rensning: Regularly clean the derailleur, especially the pulleys, to remove dirt and grime. Use a degreaser specifically designed for bicycle components.
- Smøring: After cleaning, apply a small amount of bicycle chain lubricant to the pivot points of the derailleur and the pulley bearings. Avoid over-lubricating, as this can attract more dirt.
- Inspektion: Periodically check for any loose bolts, bent components (especially the derailleur hanger), or excessive play in the pivots. Address any issues promptly.
- Kabel og kabinet: Undersøg gearkablet og huset for flossning, knæk eller korrosion. Udskift dem om nødvendigt for at opretholde jævn gearskiftning.
6. Fejlfinding
Her er nogle almindelige problemer og deres potentielle løsninger:
| Problem | Mulig årsag | Løsning |
|---|---|---|
| Dårlig eller langsom gearskifte | Incorrect cable tension, dirty cable/housing, bent derailleur hanger | Adjust cable tension using the barrel adjuster. Clean or replace cable/housing. Check and straighten/replace derailleur hanger. |
| Chain rubs on derailleur cage | Incorrect limit screw adjustment, bent derailleur cage | Re-adjust H or L limit screws. Inspect and carefully straighten the derailleur cage if bent, or replace the derailleur. |
| Chain falls off smallest/largest cog | Incorrect limit screw adjustment | Re-adjust H or L limit screws to prevent over-shifting. |
| Støjende drift | Lack of lubrication, dirty pulleys, incorrect B-tension | Clean and lubricate pulleys and pivot points. Adjust B-tension screw. |
