Vision VR40 Assembly Guidelines ... Page 2

In most cases, we will remove the rear derailleur from the frame to help protect it and the dropout from impacts during shipping. After the packing material is removed, the rear derailleur should be hanging from the cable as shown in the picture. Do NOT disconnect the cable.

Rotate the derailleur back so that the mounting bolt lines up with the dropout hole. Use a 5mm allen wrench to attach the derailleur to the frame. Be careful to not cross-thread the bolt into the frame.

When re-attached, your rear derailleur should look like this. The derailleur cable has been adjusted and tested prior to shipping, so there should not be any major adjustments required after the rear wheel and chain are installed.

Moving to the front of the bike, route the front derailleur cable from the shifter to the front of the bike as shown. Be sure the cable has not been kinked in shipping. If it has, carefully straighten it with your fingers or a pliers.

Insert the cable housing sections into the frame stops as shown.

Pull the end of the cable with your fingers and attach it to the front derailleur as shown. The front derailleur has been adjusted prior to shipping, so pulling the cable tight with your fingers should be enough tension for proper shifting. Be sure to review our Front Derailleur Cable Routing help guide page.
