General Safety Information

2. Connection and securing of cable

Front shifting (SL-R770)
Both lever (A) and lever (B) always return to the initial position when they are released after shifting.
When operating one of the levers, always be sure to turn the crank arm at the same time.

WARNING
• Obtain and read the service instructions carefully prior to installing the parts.
Loose, worn, or damaged parts may cause injury to the rider. We strongly recommend
only using genuine Shimano replacement parts.
• Obtain and read the service instructions carefully prior to installing the parts.
If adjustments are not carried out correctly, the chain may come off and this may
cause you to fall off the bicycle which could result in serious injury.
• Be careful not to let the cuffs of your clothes get caught in the chain while riding,
otherwise you may fall off the bicycle.
• Read these Technical Service Instructions carefully, and keep them in a safe place for
later reference.

To shift from a small chainring to a larger
chainring

To shift from a large chainring to a smaller
chainring

When lever (A) is pressed once, there is a shift of
one step from a small chainring to a larger chainring.

When lever (B) is pressed once, there is a shift of
one step from a large chainring to a smaller
chainring.

Lever (A) initial position

Technical Service Instructions

Set so that the clearance between the chain guide outer
plate and the chain is 0 - 0.5 mm.

When lever (B) is operated, there is one
click where trimming (the noise prevention
mechanism) engages, and a second
stronger click when the gear shift stroke is
completed. After trimming, the next push
will complete the gear shift stroke.

If the chain is on the large front chainwheel and the larger
rear sprocket, the chain will rub in the front derailleur plate,
producing a characteristic noise. When this happens, press
lever (B) lightly (to the point where it clicks); this causes the
front derailleur to move slightly
towards the smaller chainwheel,
thereby eliminating the noise.

Movement of the front
derailleur

While turning the crank arm, gently operate lever (B) and check that the front derailleur
moves slightly toward the small chainring. If the front derailleur moves by a large amount
and the chain is set onto the small chainring at this time, loosen the top adjustment bolt
by 1/8th of a turn. Then, after returning the chain to its original position, adjust and check
the trimming mechanism.

Note

• If gear shifting operations cannot be carried out smoothly, clean the derailleur and
lubricate all moving parts.
• If the amount of looseness in the links is so great that adjustment is not possible, you
should replace the derailleur.
• When the chain is in the position shown in the illustration,
the chain may contact the front chainrings or front derailleur
Front
and generate noise. If the noise is a problem, shift the chain chainrings
onto the next-larger rear sprocket or the one after.
• For smooth operation, use the specified outer casing and

sprockets
• Grease the inner cable and the inside of the outer casing
before use to ensure that they slide properly.
• Parts are not guaranteed against natural wear or deterioration resulting from normal
use.
• For maximum performance we highly recommend Shimano lubricants and
maintenance products.
• For any questions regarding methods of installation, adjustment, maintenance or
operation, please contact a professional bicycle dealer.

While pulling the inner cable, tighten the wire fixing bolt with a 5 mm
allen key to secure the cable.

Chain

After completion of steps 1 - 4, move the shifting lever to check the shifting.
(This also applies if shifting becomes difficult during use.)
If the chain falls to the crank side

Tighten the top adjustment screw clockwise
(about 1/4 turn).

If shifting is difficult from the small chainring to the
large chainring

Loosen the top adjustment screw
counterclockwise (about 1/8 turn).

If shifting is difficult from the large chainring to the
small chainring

Loosen the low adjustment screw
counterclockwise (about 1/8 turn).

If the chain falls to the bottom bracket side.

Tighten the low adjustment screw clockwise
(about 1/8 turn).

If the gear shifting to the small chainring is stiff and
difficult to carry out after trimming.

Turn the outer casing adjustment bolt
clockwise (1/8 of a turn at a time) until
shifting to the small chainring becomes
smooth. Be careful not to turn the outer
casing adjustment bolt too far at this time,
otherwise shifting to the large chainring will
become more difficult.

Be sure to read these service instructions in conjunction with the service instructions for the
SL-R770 before use.
