2. Bezpečnostní informace

Always prioritize safety when installing or maintaining bicycle components. Improper installation or adjustment can lead to serious injury or damage to your bicycle.

• Ensure all components are securely fastened according to torque specifications (if applicable).
• Pokud si nejste jisti některým krokem instalace, poraďte se s profesionálním cyklomechanikem.
• Během instalace a údržby používejte vhodné ochranné pomůcky, jako jsou rukavice a ochrana očí.
• Regularly inspect your shifter and cables for wear or damage. Replace worn parts immediately.

3. Obsah balení

Před zahájením instalace ověřte, zda jsou v balení přítomny všechny položky:

• microSHIFT BS-SR-M11-R Right Bar End Shifter (1 unit)
• Stainless Slick Shift Cables (1 set)

4. Nastavení a instalace

The microSHIFT BS-SR-M11-R shifter is designed for straightforward installation on handlebars with an internal diameter of 19-21mm. It is compatible with 11-speed MTB 1x11 systems and SRAM X-Actuation components.

4.1 Handlebar Compatibility

This bar end shifter utilizes an expander plug for secure mounting. Ensure your handlebar's internal diameter falls within the 19-21mm range for proper fitment.

4.2 Shifter Mounting

1. Carefully insert the shifter's expander plug into the end of the right handlebar.
2. Tighten the expander bolt (if applicable) to secure the shifter firmly in place. Do not overtighten.
3. Ensure the shifter body is oriented correctly for comfortable and ergonomic access.

4.3 Vedení a připojení kabelů

1. Route the included stainless slick shift cable through the shifter body and your bicycle's cable housing.
2. Connect the cable to your SRAM X-Actuation compatible 11-speed rear derailleur.
3. Adjust cable tension at the derailleur and/or inline adjusters to achieve proper shifting.

Note: For optimal performance, ensure cable housing is cut cleanly and ferrules are properly seated.

5. Návod k obsluze

The microSHIFT BS-SR-M11-R shifter provides precise control over your 11-speed drivetrain. It features both indexed and friction shifting modes.

5.1 Indexed Shifting Mode

In indexed mode, the shifter provides distinct clicks for each gear change, ensuring accurate and consistent shifts across your 11-speed cassette. This mode is ideal for most riding conditions where precise gear selection is desired.

• To shift to a higher gear (smaller cog), push the lever forward.
• To shift to a lower gear (larger cog), pull the lever backward.
• Each movement corresponds to one gear change.

5.2 Friction Shifting Mode

The shifter can be converted to friction mode, which allows for continuous, non-indexed adjustment of the derailleur. This mode offers flexibility and can be particularly useful in challenging mechanical conditions or with slightly misaligned drivetrains. It requires more rider input to find the correct gear position.

• To engage friction mode, refer to the specific instructions provided with your shifter or consult a professional mechanic. This typically involves a small adjustment on the shifter body.
• In friction mode, move the lever gradually until the chain is centered on the desired cog without rubbing.

5.3 Adjustable Shifting Tension

The shifter features adjustable tension, allowing you to customize the feel of each shift. A small screw or dial on the shifter body typically controls this. Adjust it to your preference for a lighter or firmer shift action.

6. Údržba

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your microSHIFT bar end shifter. This shifter is designed for low maintenance, but periodic checks are recommended.

• Čištění: Keep the shifter body and surrounding areas clean from dirt and debris. Use a damp hadřík a v případě potřeby jemné mýdlo.
• Kontrola kabelů: Periodically inspect the shift cables and housing for fraying, kinks, or corrosion. Replace cables and housing as needed to maintain smooth shifting.
• Mazání: Apply a small amount of bicycle-specific lubricant to the pivot points of the shifter and the exposed sections of the shift cable where it enters the housing.
• Kontrola napětí: Ensure the shifter's mounting bolt remains securely tightened.

7. Řešení problémů

If you experience issues with your shifter, consult the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Difficulty Shifting / Ghost Shifting:
  • Check cable tension. Too loose or too tight can affect shifting accuracy. Adjust using inline adjusters or the derailleur's barrel adjuster.
  • Inspect shift cables and housing for damage or excessive friction. Replace if necessary.
  • Ensure the rear derailleur is properly aligned and not bent.
• Shifter Feels Loose:
  • Check the expander bolt inside the handlebar. Tighten it securely, but do not overtighten.
  • Verify that the handlebar's internal diameter is within the specified 19-21mm range.
• Indexing Issues (e.g., with Shimano Derailleurs):
  • This shifter is specifically designed for SRAM X-Actuation 11-speed mountain systems. While it may operate in friction mode with other brands, indexed shifting compatibility with non-SRAM 11-speed mountain derailleurs (e.g., Shimano Ultegra 11-speed road mech) is not guaranteed and may not function correctly.
  • If using with a non-SRAM system, consider utilizing the friction shifting mode for greater compatibility.

If problems persist after attempting these steps, it is recommended to consult a professional bicycle mechanic.
