NOTE:
When using the front derailleur designed for a 7-speed system on an 8-speed system, the front derailleur plate may interfere

with the chain even if its installed correctly.

How to set position for FC with bigger top gear chain ring or bash guard in the same series.

1) Set A
2) Check if outer plate and bigger chainring have clearance
3) Reposition height of FD in case problem at process (2)

 3. Front derailleur and Crankset
The allowable combinations of front derailleurs depend on the difference in the number of teeth of the gears and
the shape of the front derailleur plate.

If the conditions given below are not satisfied, then the desired shiftability may not be obtained.
< FD (top and low capacity)
FC (top gear) - (low gear) =
FC (top gear) - (middle gear) = FD (allowance of difference in teeth number between top and middle)

Front derailleurs and the number of teeth for corresponding cranksets are given in the chart.

4. Front derailleur and Chain line (Tourney)

The Shimano line-up for front derailleurs and the chain lines they support are given in the chart below.

 3. Interchangeability between disc brake systems
Depending on the brake and brake lever combination to be used, the relationship between the input at the brake
lever and the actual braking force output at the wheels is very easily affected.
Be very careful when combining a brake and brake lever. Incorrect combinations can cause accidents or insufficient
braking forces due to improper total braking ratio. Be sure to carefully consult the chart below and select the
brake and the matching brake lever.

 V-BRAKE and Hub roller brake
1. Interchangeability between brake systems
Depending on the brake and brake lever combination to be used, the relationship between the input at the brake
lever and the actual braking force output at the wheels is very easily affected.

Be very careful when combining a brake and brake lever. Incorrect combinations can cause accidents or insufficient
braking forces due to improper cable strokes. Be sure to carefully consult the chart below and select the brake and
the matching brake lever.

 2. Brake lever with switch interchangeability
Four finger brake levers such as brake levers are equipped with a switch to change between the V-Brake with
modulator mode (for example BR-M422 with SM-PM40) and the caliper brake or roller brake mode.
