This service instruction explains how to use and maintain the
Shimano bicycle parts which have been used on your new bicycle.
For any questions regarding your bicycle or other matters which
are not related to Shimano parts, please contact the place of
purchase or the bicycle manufacturer.
General Safety Information
WARNING
“Maintenance interval depends on the usage and riding circumstances. Clean regularly the chain
with an appropriate chaincleaner. Never use alkali based or acid based solvents such as rust
cleaners. If those solvent be used chain might break and cause serious injury.”
• In order to obtain good gear shifting performance, this chain has a forward side and a reverse side, and the
sides are marked so that the chain will face the correct way when installed. The proper design performance
will be obtained when the chain is installed so that it faces the correct way. If it is installed so that it faces the
opposite way, the chain may come off and the bicycle may fall over and serious injury may occur as a result.
• Use the reinforced connecting pin only for connecting the narrow type of chain.
• If connecting pins other than reinforced connecting pins
are used, or if a reinforced connecting pin or tool which is
not suitable for the type of chain is used, sufficient
connection force may not be obtained, which could cause
the chain to break or fall off.
• If it is necessary to adjust the length of the chain due to a
change in the number of sprocket teeth, make the cut at
some other place than the place where the chain has
been joined using a reinforced connecting pin. The chain will be damaged if it is cut at a place
where it has been joined with a reinforced connecting pin.
• Be careful not to let the cuffs of your clothes get caught in the chain while riding, otherwise you
may fall off the bicycle.
• Check that the tension of the chain is correct and that the chain is not damaged. If the tension is
too weak or the chain is damaged, the chain should be replaced. If this is not done, the chain may
break and cause serious injury.
• The two left crank arm mounting bolts should be tightened alternately in stages rather than each bolt being fully tightened all at
once. Use a torque wrench to check that the final tightening torques are within the range of 12 - 14 N·m. Furthermore, after riding
approximately 100 km (60 miles), use a torque wrench to re-check the tightening torques. It is also important to periodically check
the tightening torques. If the tightening torques are too weak or if the mounting bolts are not tightened alternately in stages, the left
crank arm may come off and the bicycle may fall over, and serious injury may occur as a result.
• Check that there are no cracks in the crank arms before riding the bicycle. If there are any cracks, the crank arm may break and you
may fall off the bicycle.
• If the inner cover is not installed correctly, the axle may rust and become damaged, and the bicycle may fall over and serious injury
may occur as a result.
• Obtain and read the service instructions carefully prior to installing the parts. Loose, worn or damaged parts may cause the
bicycle to fall over and serious injury may occur as a result. We strongly recommend only using genuine Shimano replacement
parts.
• Obtain and read the service instructions carefully prior to installing the parts. If adjustments are not carried out correctly, the
chain may come off and this may cause you to fall off the bicycle which could result in serious injury.
• Read these Technical Service Instructions carefully, and keep them in a safe place for later reference.
• If the chain is on the smallest or intermediate chainring, there is the danger of injury from the tips of the teeth on the largest
chainring.
Note
• In addition, if pedaling performance does not feel normal, check this once more.
• Before riding the bicycle, check that there is no play or looseness in the connection. Also, be sure to retighten the crank arms and
pedals at periodic intervals.
• When installing the pedals, apply a small amount of grease to the threads to prevent the pedals from sticking. Use a torque wrench
to securely tighten the pedals. Tightening torque: 35 - 55 N·m {305 - 479 in. lbs.}. The right-hand crank arm has a right-hand thread,
and the left-hand crank arm has a left-hand thread.
• If a squeaking noise is heard coming from the bottom bracket axle and the left crank arm connector, apply grease to the connector
and then tighten it to the specified torque.
• Use a neutral detergent to clean the crank arm and the bottom bracket. Using alkaline or acidic detergents may cause discoloration.
• Do not wash the bottom bracket with high-pressure jets of water.
• If you feel any looseness in the bearings, the bottom bracket should be replaced.
• If gear shifting operations do not feel smooth, wash the derailleur and lubricate all moving parts.
• If the amount of looseness in the links is so great that adjustment is not possible, you should replace the derailleur.
• You should periodically wash the chainrings in a neutral detergent and then lubricate them again. In
addition, cleaning the chain with neutral detergent and lubricating it can be an effective way of extending
the useful life of the chainrings and the chain.
• If the chain keeps coming off the chainrings during use, replace the chainrings and the chain.
• When the chain is in the position shown in the illustration, the chain may contact the front chainrings or
front derailleur and generate noise. If the noise is a problem, shift the chain onto the next-larger rear
sprocket or the one after.
• For frames with suspension, the chain stay angle will vary depending on whether the bicycle is being
ridden or not being ridden. When the bicycle is not being ridden and the chain is positioned on the
largest/larger chainring and on the smallest sprocket, the chain guide outer plate of the front derailleur may
touch the chain.
• The cuffs of your clothing may get dirty from the chain while riding.
• Apply grease to the left and right adapters before installing them.
• For smooth operation, use the specified outer casing and the bottom bracket cable guide.
• The front derailleur is for double front chainwheels only. It cannot be used with triple front chainwheels, as the
shifting points will not match.
• When installing the top route type, choose a frame that has three outer casing holders as shown in the illustration at right.
• Use an outer casing which still has some length to spare even when the handlebars are turned all the way to both sides.
Furthermore, check that the shifting lever does not touch the bicycle frame when the handlebars are turned all the way.
• A special grease is used for the gear shifting cable. Do not use DURA-ACE grease or other types of grease, otherwise they may
cause deterioration in gear shifting performance.
• Grease the inner cable and the inside of the outer casing before use to ensure that they slide properly.
• Operation of the levers related to gear shifting should be made only when the front chainwheel is turning.
• If the brake fluid used in the oil disc brakes is of a type which tends to adhere to the plastic parts of the shifting lever, this may
cause the plastic parts to crack or become discolored. Therefore, you should make sure that the brake fluid does not adhere to
these plastic parts. The mineral oil which is used in SHIMANO disc brakes does not cause cracking or discoloration if it adheres to
plastic parts, but such parts should be cleaned with alcohol beforehand to prevent foreign particles from adhering.
• Do not disassemble the indicator and shifting lever unit, as this may damage them or cause mis-operation.
• Be sure to read the service instructions for the Rear Drive System in conjunction with these service instructions (SL-M780-I).
• Parts are not guaranteed against natural wear or deterioration resulting from normal use.
• For maximum performance we highly recommend Shimano lubricants and maintenance products.
• For any questions regarding methods of installation, adjustment, maintenance or operation, please contact a professional bicycle
dealer.

and the left-hand crank arm has a left-hand thread.
• If a squeaking noise is heard coming from the bottom bracket axle and the left crank arm connector, apply grease to the connector
and then tighten it to the specified torque.
• Use a neutral detergent to clean the crank arm and the bottom bracket. Using alkaline or acidic detergents may cause discoloration.
• Do not wash the bottom bracket with high-pressure jets of water.
• If you feel any looseness in the bearings, the bottom bracket should be replaced.
• If gear shifting operations do not feel smooth, wash the derailleur and lubricate all moving parts.
• If the amount of looseness in the links is so great that adjustment is not possible, you should replace the derailleur.
• You should periodically wash the chainrings in a neutral detergent and then lubricate them again. In
addition, cleaning the chain with neutral detergent and lubricating it can be an effective way of extending
the useful life of the chainrings and the chain.
• If the chain keeps coming off the chainrings during use, replace the chainrings and the chain.
• When the chain is in the position shown in the illustration, the chain may contact the front chainrings or
front derailleur and generate noise. If the noise is a problem, shift the chain onto the next-larger rear
sprocket or the one after.
• For frames with suspension, the chain stay angle will vary depending on whether the bicycle is being
ridden or not being ridden. When the bicycle is not being ridden and the chain is positioned on the
largest/larger chainring and on the smallest sprocket, the chain guide outer plate of the front derailleur may
touch the chain.
• The cuffs of your clothing may get dirty from the chain while riding.
• Apply grease to the left and right adapters before installing them.
• For smooth operation, use the specified outer casing and the bottom bracket cable guide.
• The front derailleur is for double front chainwheels only. It cannot be used with triple front chainwheels, as the
shifting points will not match.
• When installing the top route type, choose a frame that has three outer casing holders as shown in the illustration at right.
• Use an outer casing which still has some length to spare even when the handlebars are turned all the way to both sides.
Furthermore, check that the shifting lever does not touch the bicycle frame when the handlebars are turned all the way.
• A special grease is used for the gear shifting cable. Do not use DURA-ACE grease or other types of grease, otherwise they may
cause deterioration in gear shifting performance.
• Grease the inner cable and the inside of the outer casing before use to ensure that they slide properly.
• Operation of the levers related to gear shifting should be made only when the front chainwheel is turning.
• If the brake fluid used in the oil disc brakes is of a type which tends to adhere to the plastic parts of the shifting lever, this may
cause the plastic parts to crack or become discolored. Therefore, you should make sure that the brake fluid does not adhere to
these plastic parts. The mineral oil which is used in SHIMANO disc brakes does not cause cracking or discoloration if it adheres to
plastic parts, but such parts should be cleaned with alcohol beforehand to prevent foreign particles from adhering.
• Do not disassemble the indicator and shifting lever unit, as this may damage them or cause mis-operation.
• Be sure to read the service instructions for the Rear Drive System in conjunction with these service instructions (SL-M780-I).
• Parts are not guaranteed against natural wear or deterioration resulting from normal use.
• For maximum performance we highly recommend Shimano lubricants and maintenance products.
• For any questions regarding methods of installation, adjustment, maintenance or operation, please contact a professional bicycle
dealer.

• Install the shifting lever in a position
where it will not obstruct brake operation
and gear shifting operation.
• Do not use in a combination which
causes brake operation to be obstructed.
Note:
When installing the components to carbon frame/handle bar
surfaces, verify with the manufacturer of the carbon frame/parts for
their recommendation on tightening torque in order to prevent over
tightening that can cause damage to the carbon material and/or
under tightening that can cause lack of fixing strength for the
components.

This service instruction explains how to use and maintain the
Shimano bicycle parts which have been used on your new bicycle.
For any questions regarding your bicycle or other matters which
are not related to Shimano parts, please contact the place of
purchase or the bicycle manufacturer.
General Safety Information
WARNING
“Maintenance interval depends on the usage and riding circumstances. Clean regularly the chain with
an appropriate chaincleaner. Never use alkali based or acid based solvents such as rust cleaners. If
those solvent be used chain might break and cause serious injury.”
• In order to obtain good gear shifting performance, this chain has a forward side and a reverse side, and the sides
are marked so that the chain will face the correct way when installed. The proper design performance will be
obtained when the chain is installed so that it faces the correct way. If it is installed so that it faces the opposite
way, the chain may come off and the bicycle may fall over and serious injury may occur as a result.
• Use the reinforced connecting pin only for connecting the narrow type of chain.
• If connecting pins other than reinforced connecting pins are
used, or if a reinforced connecting pin or tool which is not
suitable for the type of chain is used, sufficient connection
force may not be obtained, which could cause the chain to
break or fall off.
• If it is necessary to adjust the length of the chain due to a
change in the number of sprocket teeth, make the cut at
some other place than the place where the chain has been
joined using a reinforced connecting pin. The chain will be damaged if it is cut at a place where it
has been joined with a reinforced connecting pin.
• Be careful not to let the cuffs of your clothes get caught in the chain while riding, otherwise you may
fall off the bicycle.
• Check that the tension of the chain is correct and that the chain is not damaged. If the tension is too
weak or the chain is damaged, the chain should be replaced. If this is not done, the chain may break
and cause serious injury.
• The two left crank arm mounting bolts should be tightened alternately in stages rather than each bolt being fully tightened all at once.
Use a torque wrench to check that the final tightening torques are within the range of 12 - 14 N·m. Furthermore, after riding
approximately 100 km (60 miles), use a torque wrench to re-check the tightening torques. It is also important to periodically check the
tightening torques. If the tightening torques are too weak or if the mounting bolts are not tightened alternately in stages, the left crank
arm may come off and the bicycle may fall over, and serious injury may occur as a result.
• Check that there are no cracks in the crank arms before riding the bicycle. If there are any cracks, the crank arm may break and you
may fall off the bicycle.
• If the inner cover is not installed correctly, the axle may rust and become damaged, and the bicycle may fall over and serious injury
may occur as a result.
• Obtain and read the service instructions carefully prior to installing the parts. Loose, worn or damaged parts may cause the bicycle
to fall over and serious injury may occur as a result. We strongly recommend only using genuine Shimano replacement parts.
• Obtain and read the service instructions carefully prior to installing the parts. If adjustments are not carried out correctly, the chain
may come off and this may cause you to fall off the bicycle which could result in serious injury.
• Read these Technical Service Instructions carefully, and keep them in a safe place for later reference.
• If the chain is on the smallest or intermediate chainring, there is the danger of injury from the tips of the teeth on the largest chainring.
Note
• In addition, if pedaling performance does not feel normal, check this once more.
• Before riding the bicycle, check that there is no play or looseness in the connection. Also, be sure to retighten the crank arms and
pedals at periodic intervals.
• When installing the pedals, apply a small amount of grease to the threads to prevent the pedals from sticking. Use a torque wrench to
securely tighten the pedals. Tightening torque: 35 - 55 N·m {305 - 479 in. lbs.}. The right-hand crank arm has a right-hand thread, and
the left-hand crank arm has a left-hand thread.
• If a squeaking noise is heard coming from the bottom bracket axle and the left crank arm connector, apply grease to the connector and
then tighten it to the specified torque.
• Use a neutral detergent to clean the crank arm and the bottom bracket. Using alkaline or acidic detergents may cause discoloration.
• Do not wash the bottom bracket with high-pressure jets of water.
• If you feel any looseness in the bearings, the bottom bracket should be replaced.
• If gear shifting operations do not feel smooth, wash the derailleur and lubricate all moving parts.
• If the amount of looseness in the links is so great that adjustment is not possible, you should replace the derailleur.
• You should periodically wash the chainrings in a neutral detergent and then lubricate them again. In addition, cleaning the chain with
neutral detergent and lubricating it can be an effective way of extending the useful life of the chainrings and the chain.
• If the chain keeps coming off the chainrings during use, replace the chainrings and the chain.
• When the chain is in the position shown in the illustration, the chain may contact the
front chainrings or front derailleur and generate noise. If the noise is a problem, shift
the chain onto the next-larger rear sprocket or the one after if the chain is in the
position shown in Figure 1. Shift the chain onto the next-smaller sprocket or the one
after if it is in the position shown in Figure 2.
• For frames with suspension, the chain stay angle will vary depending on whether the
bicycle is being ridden or not being ridden. When the bicycle is not being ridden and
the chain is positioned on the largest/larger chainring and on the smallest sprocket,
the chain guide outer plate of the front derailleur may touch the chain.
• The cuffs of your clothing may get dirty from the chain while riding.
• Apply grease to the left and right adapters before installing them.
• For smooth operation, use the specified outer casing and the bottom bracket cable guide.
• This front derailleur is for triple front chainwheel use only. It cannot be used with the double front chainwheel, as
the shifting points do not match.
• When installing the top route type, choose a frame that has three outer casing holders as shown in the
illustration at right.
• Use an outer casing which still has some length to spare even when the handlebars are turned all the way to
both sides. Furthermore, check that the shifting lever does not touch the bicycle frame when the handlebars are turned all the way.
• A special grease is used for the gear shifting cable. Do not use DURA-ACE grease or other types of grease, otherwise they may cause
deterioration in gear shifting performance.
• Grease the inner cable and the inside of the outer casing before use to ensure that they slide properly.
• Operation of the levers related to gear shifting should be made only when the front chainwheel is turning.
• If the brake fluid used in the oil disc brakes is of a type which tends to adhere to the plastic parts of the shifting lever, this may cause
the plastic parts to crack or become discolored. Therefore, you should make sure that the brake fluid does not adhere to these plastic
parts. The mineral oil which is used in SHIMANO disc brakes does not cause cracking or discoloration if it adheres to plastic parts, but
such parts should be cleaned with alcohol beforehand to prevent foreign particles from adhering.
• Do not disassemble the indicator and shifting lever unit, as this may damage them or cause mis-operation.
• Be sure to read the service instructions for the Rear Drive System in conjunction with these service instructions (SL-M780-I).
• Parts are not guaranteed against natural wear or deterioration resulting from normal use.
• For maximum performance we highly recommend Shimano lubricants and maintenance products
• For any questions regarding methods of installation, adjustment, maintenance or operation, please contact a professional bicycle
dealer.

• Install the shifting lever in a position
where it will not obstruct brake operation
and gear shifting operation.
• Do not use in a combination which
causes brake operation to be obstructed.
Note:
When installing the components to carbon frame/handle bar
surfaces, verify with the manufacturer of the carbon frame/parts for
their recommendation on tightening torque in order to prevent over
tightening that can cause damage to the carbon material and/or
under tightening that can cause lack of fixing strength for the
components.
SM-BB70 / SM-BB71-41A
This service instruction explains how to use and maintain the
Shimano bicycle parts which have been used on your new bicycle.
For any questions regarding your bicycle or other matters which
are not related to Shimano parts, please contact the place of
purchase or the bicycle manufacturer.
General Safety Information
WARNING
“Maintenance interval depends on the usage and riding circumstances. Clean regularly the chain with
an appropriate chaincleaner. Never use alkali based or acid based solvents such as rust cleaners. If
those solvent be used chain might break and cause serious injury.”
• In order to obtain good gear shifting performance, this chain has a forward side and a reverse side, and the sides
are marked so that the chain will face the correct way when installed. The proper design performance will be
obtained when the chain is installed so that it faces the correct way. If it is installed so that it faces the opposite
way, the chain may come off and the bicycle may fall over and serious injury may occur as a result.
• Use the reinforced connecting pin only for connecting the narrow type of chain.
• If connecting pins other than reinforced connecting pins are
used, or if a reinforced connecting pin or tool which is not
suitable for the type of chain is used, sufficient connection
force may not be obtained, which could cause the chain to
break or fall off.
• If it is necessary to adjust the length of the chain due to a
change in the number of sprocket teeth, make the cut at
some other place than the place where the chain has been
joined using a reinforced connecting pin. The chain will be damaged if it is cut at a place where it
has been joined with a reinforced connecting pin.
• Be careful not to let the cuffs of your clothes get caught in the chain while riding, otherwise you may
fall off the bicycle.
• Check that the tension of the chain is correct and that the chain is not damaged. If the tension is too
weak or the chain is damaged, the chain should be replaced. If this is not done, the chain may break
and cause serious injury.
• The two left crank arm mounting bolts should be tightened alternately in stages rather than each bolt being fully tightened all at once.
Use a torque wrench to check that the final tightening torques are within the range of 12 - 14 N·m. Furthermore, after riding
approximately 100 km (60 miles), use a torque wrench to re-check the tightening torques. It is also important to periodically check the
tightening torques. If the tightening torques are too weak or if the mounting bolts are not tightened alternately in stages, the left crank
arm may come off and the bicycle may fall over, and serious injury may occur as a result.
• Check that there are no cracks in the crank arms before riding the bicycle. If there are any cracks, the crank arm may break and you
may fall off the bicycle.
• If the inner cover is not installed correctly, the axle may rust and become damaged, and the bicycle may fall over and serious injury
may occur as a result.
• Obtain and read the service instructions carefully prior to installing the parts. Loose, worn or damaged parts may cause the bicycle
to fall over and serious injury may occur as a result. We strongly recommend only using genuine Shimano replacement parts.
• Obtain and read the service instructions carefully prior to installing the parts. If adjustments are not carried out correctly, the chain
may come off and this may cause you to fall off the bicycle which could result in serious injury.
• Read these Technical Service Instructions carefully, and keep them in a safe place for later reference.
• If the chain is on the smallest or intermediate chainring, there is the danger of injury from the tips of the teeth on the largest chainring.
Note
• In addition, if pedaling performance does not feel normal, check this once more.
• Before riding the bicycle, check that there is no play or looseness in the connection. Also, be sure to retighten the crank arms and
pedals at periodic intervals.
• When installing the pedals, apply a small amount of grease to the threads to prevent the pedals from sticking. Use a torque wrench to
securely tighten the pedals. Tightening torque: 35 - 55 N·m {305 - 479 in. lbs.}. The right-hand crank arm has a right-hand thread, and
the left-hand crank arm has a left-hand thread.
• If a squeaking noise is heard coming from the bottom bracket axle and the left crank arm connector, apply grease to the connector and
then tighten it to the specified torque.
• Use a neutral detergent to clean the crank arm and the bottom bracket. Using alkaline or acidic detergents may cause discoloration.
• Do not wash the bottom bracket with high-pressure jets of water.
• If you feel any looseness in the bearings, the bottom bracket should be replaced.
• If gear shifting operations do not feel smooth, wash the derailleur and lubricate all moving parts.
• If the amount of looseness in the links is so great that adjustment is not possible, you should replace the derailleur.
• You should periodically wash the chainrings in a neutral detergent and then lubricate them again. In addition, cleaning the chain with
neutral detergent and lubricating it can be an effective way of extending the useful life of the chainrings and the chain.
• If the chain keeps coming off the chainrings during use, replace the chainrings and the chain.
• When the chain is in the position shown in the illustration, the chain may contact the
front chainrings or front derailleur and generate noise. If the noise is a problem, shift
the chain onto the next-larger rear sprocket or the one after if the chain is in the
position shown in Figure 1. Shift the chain onto the next-smaller sprocket or the one
after if it is in the position shown in Figure 2.
• For frames with suspension, the chain stay angle will vary depending on whether the
bicycle is being ridden or not being ridden. When the bicycle is not being ridden and
the chain is positioned on the largest/larger chainring and on the smallest sprocket,
the chain guide outer plate of the front derailleur may touch the chain.
• The cuffs of your clothing may get dirty from the chain while riding.
• Apply grease to the left and right adapters before installing them.
• For smooth operation, use the specified outer casing and the bottom bracket cable guide.
• This front derailleur is for triple front chainwheel use only. It cannot be used with the double front chainwheel, as
the shifting points do not match.
• When installing the top route type, choose a frame that has three outer casing holders as shown in the
illustration at right.
• Use an outer casing which still has some length to spare even when the handlebars are turned all the way to
both sides. Furthermore, check that the shifting lever does not touch the bicycle frame when the handlebars are turned all the way.
• A special grease is used for the gear shifting cable. Do not use DURA-ACE grease or other types of grease, otherwise they may cause
deterioration in gear shifting performance.
• Grease the inner cable and the inside of the outer casing before use to ensure that they slide properly.
• Operation of the levers related to gear shifting should be made only when the front chainwheel is turning.
• If the brake fluid used in the oil disc brakes is of a type which tends to adhere to the plastic parts of the shifting lever, this may cause
the plastic parts to crack or become discolored. Therefore, you should make sure that the brake fluid does not adhere to these plastic
parts. The mineral oil which is used in SHIMANO disc brakes does not cause cracking or discoloration if it adheres to plastic parts, but
such parts should be cleaned with alcohol beforehand to prevent foreign particles from adhering.
• Do not disassemble the indicator and shifting lever unit, as this may damage them or cause mis-operation.
• Be sure to read the service instructions for the Rear Drive System in conjunction with these service instructions (SL-M780-I).
• Parts are not guaranteed against natural wear or deterioration resulting from normal use.
• For maximum performance we highly recommend Shimano lubricants and maintenance products
• For any questions regarding methods of installation, adjustment, maintenance or operation, please contact a professional bicycle
dealer.

The length of A will vary depending on the movement of the rear suspension. Because of this, an excessive load may be placed on the
drive system if the chain length is too short. Set the length of the chain by adding two links to the chain when the rear suspension is at a
position where dimension "A" is longest and the chain is on the largest sprocket and the largest chainring. If the amount of movement of the
rear suspension is large, the slack in the chain may not be taken up properly when the chain is
on the smallest chainring and smallest sprocket.
Note:
Do not install the nut upside-
down.
If it is installed upside-down, it will
not be possible to secure the
brake lever to the handlebars, and
damage may occur.

General Safety Information
WARNING
Note
• If gear shifting operations do not feel smooth, wash the derailleur and lubricate all moving parts.
• If the amount of looseness in the links is so great that adjustment is not possible, you should replace the derailleur.
• You should periodically clean the derailleur and lubricate all moving parts (mechanism and pulleys).
• If gear shifting adjustment cannot be carried out, check the degree of parallelism at the rear end of the bicycle. Also check if the
cable is lubricated and if the outer casing is too long or too short.
• If you hear abnormal noise as a result of looseness in a pulley, you should replace the pulley.
• If the wheel becomes stiff and difficult to turn, you should lubricate it with grease.
• Do not apply any oil to the inside of the hub, otherwise the grease will come out.
• You should periodically wash the sprockets in a neutral detergent and then lubricate them again. In addition, cleaning the chain
with neutral detergent and lubricating it can be a effective way of extending the useful life of the sprockets and the chain.
• If the chain keeps coming off the sprockets during use, replace the sprockets and the chain.
• Use a frame with internal cable routing is strongly discouraged as it has tendencies to impair the SIS shifting function due to its
high cable resistance.
• Always be sure to use the sprocket set bearing the same group marks. Never use in combination with a
sprocket bearing a different group mark.
• Use an outer casing which still has some length to spare even when the handlebars are turned all the way
to both sides. Furthermore, check that the shifting lever does not touch the bicycle frame when the
handlebars are turned all the way.
• A special grease is used for the gear shifting cable. Do not use DURA-ACE grease or other types of
grease, otherwise they may cause deterioration in gear shifting performance.
• Grease the inner cable and the inside of the outer casing before use to ensure that they slide properly.
• For smooth operation, use the specified outer casing and the bottom bracket cable guide.
• Operation of the levers related to gear shifting should be made only when the front chainwheel is turning.
• If the brake fluid used in the oil disc brakes is of a type which tends to adhere to the plastic parts of the shifting lever, this may
cause the plastic parts to crack or become discolored. Therefore, you should make sure that the brake fluid does not adhere to
these plastic parts.
The mineral oil which is used in SHIMANO disc brakes does not cause cracking or discoloration if it adheres to plastic parts, but
such parts should be cleaned with alcohol beforehand to prevent foreign particles from adhering.
• Do not disassemble the indicator and shifting lever unit, as this may damage them or cause mis-operation.
• Parts are not guaranteed against natural wear or deterioration resulting from normal use.
• Read these Service Instructions in conjunction with the Service Instructions for the FH-M785 / M788.
• For maximum performance we highly recommend Shimano lubricants and maintenance products
• For any questions regarding methods of installation, adjustment, maintenance or operation, please contact a professional

• In order to obtain good gear shifting performance, this chain has a forward side and a reverse side, and the
sides are marked so that the chain will face the correct way when installed. The proper design performance
will be obtained when the chain is installed so that it faces the correct way. If it is installed so that it faces
the opposite way, the chain may come off and the bicycle may fall over and serious injury may occur as a
result.
• Check that the wheels are fastened securely before riding the bicycle. If the wheels are loose in any way, they may come off the
bicycle and serious injury may result.
• Use the reinforced connecting pin only for connecting
the narrow type of chain.
• If connecting pins other than reinforced connecting pins
are used, or if a reinforced connecting pin or tool which
is not suitable for the type of chain is used, sufficient
connection force may not be obtained, which could
cause the chain to break or fall off.
• If it is necessary to adjust the length of the chain due to
a change in the number of sprocket teeth, make the cut at some other place than the place
where the chain has been joined using a reinforced connecting pin. The chain will be damaged
if it is cut at a place where it has been joined with a reinforced connecting pin.
• Check that the tension of the chain is correct and that the chain is not damaged. If the tension
is too weak or the chain is damaged, the chain should be replaced. If this is not done, the chain
may break and cause serious injury.
• Obtain and read the service instructions carefully prior to installing the parts. Loose, worn or damaged parts may cause the
bicycle to fall over and serious injury may occur as a result. We strongly recommend only using genuine Shimano replacement
parts.
• Obtain and read the service instructions carefully prior to installing the parts. If adjustments are not carried out correctly, the
chain may come off and this may cause you to fall off the bicycle which could result in serious injury.
• Read these Technical Service Instructions carefully, and keep them in a safe place for later reference.

Gear shifting operation
The INSTANT RELEASE mechanism makes fast releasing possible because cable tension is released immediately when a lever is
depressed. The levers are also equipped with 2-WAY RELEASE and MULTI RELEASE mechanisms so that you can now shift two gears
with a single operation, either by pushing or pulling the lever.
Both lever (A) and lever (B) always return to the initial position when they are released after shifting. When operating one of the levers,
always be sure to turn the crank arm at the same time.

The length of A will vary depending on the movement of the rear suspension. Because of this, an excessive load may be placed on the
drive system if the chain length is too short. Set the length of the chain by adding two links to the chain when the rear suspension is at a
position where dimension "A" is longest and the chain is on the largest sprocket and the largest chainring. If the amount of movement of the
rear suspension is large, the slack in the chain may not be taken up properly when the chain is
on the smallest chainring and smallest sprocket.
Note:
Do not install the nut upside-
down.
If it is installed upside-down, it will
not be possible to secure the

General Safety Information
WARNING
Note
• If gear shifting operations do not feel smooth, wash the derailleur and lubricate all moving parts.
• If the amount of looseness in the links is so great that adjustment is not possible, you should replace the derailleur.
• You should periodically clean the derailleur and lubricate all moving parts (mechanism and pulleys).
• If gear shifting adjustment cannot be carried out, check the degree of parallelism at the rear end of the bicycle. Also check if the
cable is lubricated and if the outer casing is too long or too short.
• If you hear abnormal noise as a result of looseness in a pulley, you should replace the pulley.
• If the wheel becomes stiff and difficult to turn, you should lubricate it with grease.
• Do not apply any oil to the inside of the hub, otherwise the grease will come out.
• You should periodically wash the sprockets in a neutral detergent and then lubricate them again. In addition, cleaning the chain
with neutral detergent and lubricating it can be a effective way of extending the useful life of the sprockets and the chain.
• If the chain keeps coming off the sprockets during use, replace the sprockets and the chain.
• Use a frame with internal cable routing is strongly discouraged as it has tendencies to impair the SIS shifting function due to its
high cable resistance.
• Always be sure to use the sprocket set bearing the same group marks. Never use in combination with a
sprocket bearing a different group mark.
• Use an outer casing which still has some length to spare even when the handlebars are turned all the way
to both sides. Furthermore, check that the shifting lever does not touch the bicycle frame when the
handlebars are turned all the way.
• A special grease is used for the gear shifting cable. Do not use DURA-ACE grease or other types of
grease, otherwise they may cause deterioration in gear shifting performance.
• Grease the inner cable and the inside of the outer casing before use to ensure that they slide properly.
• For smooth operation, use the specified outer casing and the bottom bracket cable guide.
• Operation of the levers related to gear shifting should be made only when the front chainwheel is turning.
• If the brake fluid used in the oil disc brakes is of a type which tends to adhere to the plastic parts of the shifting lever, this may
cause the plastic parts to crack or become discolored. Therefore, you should make sure that the brake fluid does not adhere to
these plastic parts.
The mineral oil which is used in SHIMANO disc brakes does not cause cracking or discoloration if it adheres to plastic parts, but
such parts should be cleaned with alcohol beforehand to prevent foreign particles from adhering.
• Do not disassemble the indicator and shifting lever unit, as this may damage them or cause mis-operation.
• Parts are not guaranteed against natural wear or deterioration resulting from normal use.
• Read these Service Instructions in conjunction with the Service Instructions for the FH-M785 / M788.
• For maximum performance we highly recommend Shimano lubricants and maintenance products
• For any questions regarding methods of installation, adjustment, maintenance or operation, please contact a professional
bicycle dealer.
