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.
