Derailleur; Suspensions - Moustache Lundi 26 Manuel D'utilisation

4 // SETTINGS AND VARIOUS RECOMMENDATIONS
4.2.3 Process to follow for reliable tightening of the wheel with quick release axles
If you want to remove the wheel of your Moustache, please follow this process:
1. Check that the lever is in the open position (You should be able to read «OPEN» that is
engraved on the lever).
2. Check that the conical springs are on each side of the hub and that the smallest
circumference of these is oriented towards the center of the wheel as in Figure 14.
3. Place the wheel on the fork or the frame, checking that the axle is fully placed into the
dropouts of the frame or fork. The wheel should be centered, as should the disc in the
caliper.
4. Hand tighten the tightening nut until it touches the fork or frame dropouts.
5. Reclose the quick release lever with the palm of your hand parallel to the fork or the
frame dropout ensuring you have the recommended level of tightness. The engraving
« CLOSE » is now visible. The recommended tightness is obtained when the lever
hardens midway through the course, that's to say from the moment when the lever
finds itself in line with the axle. If the lever is too hard to close, you can loosen the nut
on the axle. If the lever is not tight enough, you can retighten the nut until the correct
level is attained.

4.3 DERAILLEUR

The adjustment of your derailleur was carried out before delivery of your bike and therefore, you
should not need to do it yourself.
If however, you feel you need to intervene with its settings, perhaps because of cable stretch, we
advise you to consult your local approved retailer.
With a little bit of experience, you can also follow the stages below:
1. In order to adjust the low and high speed stop screws, it can
be easiest to unscrew the cable tightener at the level of the
derailleur so that it is free. You can then push against the high
speed stop screw with your hand.
2. The upper tensioner should be aligned with the high or low
cog when the derailleur is in high or low speed setting. If the
tensioner is not aligned, you must tighten or untighten the stop
screw to obtain the correct setting (see Figure 17).
3. Then you must adjust the indexing. Ensure that the gear
changing lever is set to the highest gear, which corresponds
to the smallest cog. Then tighten the cable by pulling on it and
immobilize it by using the cable tightener on the derailleur.

To perfect the cable tension, use the dial on the derailleur or on the lever.
When pressing on the lever to change up the gears, the derailleur should climb without delay
onto the next cog without making any noise.
If the derailleur does not pull the chain onto the next cog, or if it makes noise from rubbing onto
the lower cog, you need to tighten the cable by unscrewing the dial.
Inversely if the derailleur takes the chain too far, climbing up two cogs or rubbing on the upper
cog, you need to loosen the cable by tightening the dial.
The final adjustment to cut out all noise should be precise and the dial adjusted by a quarter
turn between each check.
WARNING!
If despite these recommendations you are not able to correctly index your
gears, see your local retailer so they can carry out the different steps of
adjustment as well as checking the derailleur hanger.

4.4 SUSPENSIONS

For optimal durability and functioning, check the specific notices of each manufacturer delivered
with this manual in order to correctly carry out the settings and maintenance of components.
Also ensure you adapt the settings to your size and your type of riding.
WARNING!
A badly carried out setting can make you lose control of your Moustache
or damage components. Ask your local retailer for advice. He/she has the
necessary experience to help you find the correct settings. You can also
refer to the manufacturer's notice.
4.4.1 Fork lockout system
Some forks are equipped with a system to lockout the suspension.
Each brand has its own type of lockout but the principle remains very similar from one brand
to another. When the system is locked, the fork movements are blocked in order to guarantee
better pedaling efficiency. However, the fork is not 100% blocked in order not to damage the
suspension if the fork stays locked out on rough ground. The levers are on the right leg of the
fork. The following figure presents different models of lockout systems.
