tip mark identify the flat edge. Place a mark on the
rounded face identifing the edge that’s flat.
STEP 14:
Reinstall the spring in the derailleur body.
STEP 12:
Use the front cage to reset the position of the clutch
system in the derailleur body. Line up the D-shape on
the pulley cage with the D-shape inside the derailleur

STEP 16:
Install the nut and tighten it a few revolutions, less
than finger tight.
STEP 17:
Load the spring tension by pivoting the front cage
clockwise around the center nut one revolution.
STEP 15:
Install the front cage. Align the spring with the the
center hole to set the recommended tension.
Use the forward hole (near the rotation stop pin) for
higher spring tension and security on rough terrain. Use
the backward hole for lowest possible friction: useful
for a time trial on smooth surface.

STEP 25:
Adjust the derailleur position, upper and lower limit and
b-tension as per Sram’s instructions.
STEP 26:
Adjusting the B-tension: the gap between the largest
cog and the upper pulley should be the same as Sram’s
recommendation for the standard cage. The Sram
supplied gauge will not fit the oversized 14 tooth pulley.
Below are the recommended gaps between the top of
the pulley and largest cog for each cassette size:
26T: 15mm
28T: 10mm
33T: 6mm
36T: 6mm
STEP 24:
Install the new chain over the small ring, smallest cog.
Chain length is correct if there is a minimal tension on
the cage.
