4. 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.

FC (top gear) - (low gear) ≤ FD (top and low capacity)

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.

5. 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.

Note:
If using a chain case, select a BB- (-K) / -K bottom bracket.
If using an E-type front derailleur, select a BB- (-E) bottom bracket.
*:Chain case stay thickness should be 1.5 mm to 2.1 mm.
**:Please refer to page 176 for detailed combination.
Note:
FC-M521: Use 121AK with 1.8 mm spacer if no chain case used.

6-2. Capreo series components

The combinations of the front chainwheel and the bottom bracket to obtain proper chain line, which are necessary
for the SIS (= Shimano indexed system) to function well, are presented in the following chart.

Note:
This specification can be used without the chain case as 52.5 mm chain line.
In that case, a space is to be left between the shell and the adapter on the
left side of the BB, but there is no problem in actual use.

7. Chain, chainring and cassette sprocket

The allowable combinations for the Shimano chain (CN), chainrings (FC), and cassette sprockets (CS) are given in
the chart below. These chains are available in order to match the type of drivetrain. Select the combination you

Note:
1. Suitable mount adapter is necessary according to your frame mount style.
2. SM-RT56 / RT54 / RT30 are compatible with Resin pad caliper specification only. If use with metal pads, rotor will be easily
damaged.
3. When using 140mm rotor, braking power is less than 160 mm, please confirm the power is enough for your purpose. 140 mm
rotor is recommended for rear use only.
4. Durability of B / E-type pad become shorter when the pad is used with narrow type rotor.
5. Narrow type 2piece rotor are not compatible to caliper for Wide type rotor because of interference.
6. Please refer page 86 for BR models compatible with B / E-type pad.
Interference between brake caliper and adapter of rotor
Do not use these combinations for a reason of interference between brake caliper and adapter of rotor.

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.

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.

If the mode is not matched to the type of brake being used, this could result in
inadequate or excessive braking power. Please proceed with caution when selecting

Shimano Cable System
In order to take full advantage of high performance of Shimano components, the Shimano cable system is designed
to be highly efficient and durable. When using Shimano cable systems, take the following points into account.

1. Brake cable system

To improve efficiency and prolong the life of the brake cables, use a cable housing of the construction shown
below. When designing the outer cable housing stop, make sure that the diameter of the hole for the inner cable
(A) is of the correct dimension so that it does not interfere with the inner cable.

Inserting grease here will further

(W-type brake cable) improve the operating life.

2-2. Cable system assembly (inner cable direction)

For SIS-SP41 Outer cable
Ě SP41, grease is injected into the outer cable all the way as shown below.
There is no need to take care of the direction of insertion of the inner cable.

2-3. Cable system assembly (for top route)

Ě In the case of top routing for the rear cable, there is a chance that rainwater or mud may get inside the cable.
To prevent this, install outer cap with tongue and a special water protection cap as shown below.

This special water protection cap is in the line-up for XTR, DEORE-XT, LX, DEORE components.

3. Cables
3-1. When using full outer casing
When using a full outer casing as the outer casing, the following factors may affect the gear shifting performance,
so make sure that you check the proper gear shifting performance can be obtained before normal use.
In addition, check to be sure that the outer casing does not touch moving parts such as the tires and crank arms
during riding.

1) Cable routing method.

*Curvature
*Enough slack for suspension and handlebar operation
2) Method of securing the cable to the frame.
3) Relationship between the length of cable from the rear derailleur to the securing
location and the cable securing position.
*If the values are greatly different from those which are recommended,
problems with gear shifting performance may occur.

(with derailleur hanger)
Ě When using a RD-TX75, RD-TX55 NEW RD-FT35 and NEW RD-FT55 roller guide rear derailleur, take the following
precautions.

Ě Make sure that the outer cable does not hit the carrier rack or mud guard stays. Doing so may affect the shifting
performance.

Ě Have the outer cable length as given in the diagrams below.

Top route
(The chain is on the largest gear for both the front and rear sprockets)
As shown in the diagram, add 5 mm (10 mm for RD-TX75 / RD-TX55 / NEW RD-FT35 and NEW RD-FT55) to the
distance from outer cable housing stop to the link for the length of the outer cable.

NOTE:
Chain’s
As illustrated in Fig (A), we strongly recommend to set direction
the connecting pin in the hole of the outer link on the of travel
front side in the direction of travel.
The chain’s level of strength is enhanced compared to
the method in Fig (B).

In order to obtain good gear shifting performance, the chain CN-7901 / CN-6701 / CN-5701 / CN-4601 / CN-M981 / CN-HG95 /
CN-HG75 / CN-HG54 has a forward side and a reverse side, and the sides are marked so that the chain will face the correct way
when installed.

Ě Make sure that the connecting pin is
aligned with the outer link surface from the

Ě 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.
Ě When readjusting the length of the chain, be sure to insert the reinforced connecting pin from the same side as the chain
cutter was inserted (the same direction as when the chain was cut).

Wheel
1. Wheel spoke lacing for hub brake
Check that the spokes have been laced as shown Front left Rear left Rear right Front right
in the illustration on hub brake (Disc brake, Roller brake,
Coaster brake).
A radial assembly cannot be used.
Lace the spokes as shown in Figure 1 below for the
left side of the front wheel (the side where the rotor is
installed), and the left and right sides of the rear wheel,
and as shown in Figure 2 below for the right side of the
front wheel.

2. Radial lacing
2-1. Notes with regard to radial lacing and wheels

IV
The way the spokes are installed and the tension applied to the spokes has a great effect on the strength of the
wheel and also on the force applied to the area around the spoke holes in the flanges of the hub.
The tension applied to the spokes is particularly high for radial lacing, so that the possibility of deformation or
damage to the spoke holes in the hub is greater.
Technical notes

H
CAUTION:
Hubs manufactured by Shimano other than the hubs mentioned below are not suitable for radial
lacing. Shimano is not obliged to carry out any repairs or replacements which are necessary as a result
of damage or deformation to spoke holes of hubs caused by the use of radial lacing.

Note:
Shimano does not accept responsibility for problems occurring as a result of damage to the wheels or loosening
of the spokes. We strongly advise that you use rims with sufficient rigidity and carry out daily maintenance of the
bicycle wheels.
