Schwinn Paramount -- Installed the cleaned chain from the Miele bike and installed the "missing link" -- Also adjusted the derailleurs
 |
| This 7.3 mm missing-link is the right size. It it was narrower (the 7.1 mm), then it would not go on. The 7.3 mm missing-link just barely goes on this chain. |
 |
| Adjusting the front derailleur was very tricky. The chain-ring is oval so you have to get the larger part of the gear near the chain-guide. It needs to be close but not touch. Also, the cable needs to be installed with the right amount of "pre-load" so that it's resting position is correct for the small ring. It took many adjustments to get it where it should be. In this picture, the chain-guide is tool much to the left at it's rest position. |
 |
| This is closer to where it needs to be... but not quite right yet. |
 |
| The oval chain-ring (gear) makes the front derailleur adjustment quite difficult. |
 |
| The chain guide is not too close to the big ring at it's resting position. Need to adjust it again... |
 |
| The rear derailleur was much easier to adjust. There's a small adjuster built into the derailleur that allowed for easy adjustment to get the SIS (indexing) to work just right. I think the rear derailleur hanger is slightly bent. The chain-line is not quite right. I'll have to see if I can bent the derailleur hanger slightly... |
