2. Enrutamento de cables: Route the shifter cable from the shifter to your rear derailleur. Ensure the cable path is smooth and free from sharp bends or obstructions that could impede shifting performance.
3. Derailleur Connection: Connect the shifter cable to your 11-speed SRAM compatible rear derailleur according to the derailleur manufacturer's instructions.
4. Cable Tension Adjustment: Adjust the cable tension to ensure proper indexing. This typically involves using the barrel adjuster on the shifter or derailleur to fine-tune the cable tension until each gear shift is crisp and accurate.
5. Verificación final: Test all gear shifts through the entire range to confirm smooth operation and proper indexing. Make any necessary micro-adjustments.

Instrucións de funcionamento

Your microSHIFT Right Thumb Shifter offers both indexed and friction shifting modes, providing versatility for different riding preferences and conditions.

Shifting Modes:

• Indexed Shifting: In this mode, each click of the thumb lever corresponds to a precise gear change. This provides consistent and predictable shifts, ideal for most riding conditions.
• Friction Shifting: This mode allows for continuous adjustment of the derailleur position, offering fine-tuned control over gear selection. It can be useful in situations where precise indexing is difficult due to mud, bent hangers, or other factors. To engage friction mode, consult the specific instructions for your shifter model, as the conversion mechanism may vary.

Basic Shifting Operation:

• To shift to a higher gear (smaller cog, harder to pedal), push the thumb lever forward.
• To shift to a lower gear (larger cog, easier to pedal), release the thumb lever. The shifter will return to its original position, and the derailleur will move to the next gear.

Axuste fino:

The shifter features an adjustment dial (visible in Image 1) to fine-tune cable tension. Turning the dial in the '+' direction increases cable tension, moving the derailleur towards larger cogs. Turning it in the '-' direction decreases cable tension, moving the derailleur towards smaller cogs. Make small adjustments while pedaling to achieve optimal shifting performance.

Mantemento

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your microSHIFT shifter.

• Limpeza: Periodically clean the shifter body and lever with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could damage the finish or internal components.
• Inspección de cables: Regularly inspect the shifter cable for fraying, kinks, or corrosion. Replace damaged cables promptly to prevent shifting issues.
• Lubricación: Apply a small amount of bicycle-specific lubricant to the pivot points of the shifter lever and the cable where it enters the housing. This helps maintain smooth operation.
• Inspección da vivenda: Check the cable housing for cracks or damage. Damaged housing can increase friction and degrade shifting performance.
• Comprobación de estanqueidade: Ensure the shifter is securely mounted to the handlebar. Periodically check the thumb screw for tightness.

Resolución de problemas

If you experience issues with your shifter, consult the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Dificultade de cambio:
  • Check cable tension: Adjust the barrel adjuster.
  • Inspect cable and housing: Look for damage, kinks, or excessive friction. Replace if necessary.
  • Ensure derailleur is clean and properly lubricated.
  • Check for a bent derailleur hanger.
• Ghost Shifting (unintended gear changes):
  • Cable tension might be too loose or too tight.
  • Check for loose shifter mounting.
  • Ensure the derailleur limit screws are correctly set.
• Shifter Lever Feels Stiff:
  • Lubricate the shifter's pivot points.
  • Inspect cable and housing for friction or corrosion.

If problems persist after attempting these steps, it is recommended to consult a professional bicycle mechanic.
