How to Set Up Your Mountain Bike Gears to Conquer Any Trail
Firstly, shift the front gear all the way down to the smallest chainring. Then, crank the pedals to check for any chain rub or misalignment. Next, shift the rear derailleur to the smallest cog and adjust the low limit screw to ensure that the chain is centered on the cog. Shift the rear gear to the biggest cog and adjust the high limit screw to center the chain again. Finally, fine-tune the shifting by adjusting the barrel adjuster until the gears shift smoothly and accurately.
