Setup u Installazzjoni

Installazzjoni xierqa hija kruċjali għal prestazzjoni u sigurtà ottimali. Jekk m'intix ċert dwar xi pass, ikkonsulta mekkanik professjonali tar-roti.

1. Shifter Installation

• Immuntar: The Sword shifters are designed for drop bars and feature a clamp-on mount. Position them ergonomically on your handlebars, ensuring comfortable access to brake levers and shift paddles.
• Rotot tal-kejbil: These shifters support internal cable routing. Carefully route brake and shift cables through your frame as per your bicycle's design. Ensure cables move freely without kinks or excessive friction.
• Kompatibilità tal-Brejkijiet: The shifters are compatible with road pull disc and rim brakes. Connect your brake cables and adjust for proper lever feel and braking power.
• Lever Reach Adjustment: Adjust the lever reach to suit your hand size for all-day comfort. Consult the specific instructions provided with the shifters for detailed adjustment procedures.

2. Rear Derailleur Installation

• Immuntar: Attach the Sword 1x clutch rear derailleur to your bike's derailleur hanger. Ensure it is securely tightened to the manufacturer's specifications.
• Konnessjoni tal-Cable: Connect the shift cable from the right shifter to the rear derailleur.
• Tul tal-Katina: Proper chain length is critical for the 1x system with a clutch derailleur. Install the chain, ensuring it is long enough to wrap around the largest cog on the cassette and the largest chainring (if applicable, though this is a 1x system, so only one chainring). The chain should be taut but not overly stretched in the largest cog. Refer to microSHIFT's specific guidelines for precise chain length calculation for 1x systems.

3. Installazzjoni ta 'Cassette

• Immuntar: Install the Advent X 10-speed 11-48t alloy cassette onto your compatible freehub body. Ensure all cogs are correctly aligned and seated.
• Lockring: Secure the cassette with the provided lockring, tightening it to the specified torque (typically 40 Nm) using a cassette tool and torque wrench.

Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi

Ċaqliq

• The Sword 1x10 groupset uses a single right-hand shifter for all gear changes.
• Upshifting (to smaller cogs/harder gears): Push the smaller lever inwards towards the handlebar. Each click will shift the chain to a smaller cog.
• Downshifting (to larger cogs/easier gears): Push the larger lever inwards towards the handlebar. Each click will shift the chain to a larger cog.
• Shift smoothly and avoid excessive force. Anticipate terrain changes to shift before climbing or accelerating.

Derailleur ta' wara tal-klaċċ

• The Sword rear derailleur features a clutch mechanism designed to provide chain security and reduce chain slap, especially on rough terrain.
• The clutch is typically engaged by default. There is usually a lever or switch on the derailleur body to engage or disengage the clutch. For riding, ensure the clutch is engaged.
• Disengaging the clutch can make wheel removal easier, but remember to re-engage it before riding.

Manutenzjoni

Regular maintenance extends the life and performance of your groupset.

• Tindif: After each ride, especially in wet or dirty conditions, clean your chain, cassette, and derailleur. Use a degreaser for the drivetrain and a mild soap solution for other components. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
• Lubrikazzjoni: Lubricate your chain regularly with a suitable bicycle chain lubricant. Apply lubricant to each link, spin the cranks to distribute, and wipe off excess.
• Spezzjoni tal-Cable: Periodically check shift and brake cables for fraying, corrosion, or stiffness. Replace worn cables promptly to maintain crisp shifting and braking.
• Derailleur Hanger Alignment: A bent derailleur hanger can cause poor shifting. If shifting issues persist after adjustment, check hanger alignment.
• Clutch Maintenance: The clutch mechanism is generally maintenance-free, but keep the derailleur body clean to prevent debris from interfering with its function.
