ເຄື່ອງມືທີ່ຕ້ອງການ:

• Hex key set (typically 2mm, 2.5mm, 3mm)
• Chain whip (if removing chain)
• Chain breaker (if replacing chain)
• ປະແຈຂັນ (ແນະນຳໃຫ້ຕິດຕັ້ງຢ່າງແນ່ນອນ)
• Degreaser and clean rags

ຂັ້ນ​ຕອນ​ການ​ຕິດ​ຕັ້ງ​:

1. ການກະກຽມ: Ensure your bicycle is securely mounted in a repair stand. Shift the chain to the smallest cog and chainring.
2. Remove Existing Pulley Cage: Carefully remove the existing derailleur pulley cage. This typically involves unscrewing the pivot bolt that holds the cage to the derailleur body. Note the orientation of the original cage and pulleys.
3. Clean Derailleur Body: Thoroughly clean the derailleur body, especially the area where the new cage will attach, to remove any dirt or old grease.
4. Install Kolossos Cage: Align the Kogel Kolossos cage with the derailleur body. Insert the pivot bolt and tighten it according to the derailleur manufacturer's specifications. Use a torque wrench if possible to ensure proper tension.
5. ການປັບຄວາມຍາວຂອງລະບົບຕ່ອງໂສ້: Due to the larger pulleys, your chain length may need to be adjusted. It is often necessary to add 2-4 links to the chain. Consult a bicycle chain length guide or a professional mechanic for precise adjustment.
6. Re-install Chain: Route the chain through the new Kolossos cage, ensuring it passes correctly over the upper and lower pulleys. The long tooth profile on the lower pulley is designed for optimal chain retention.
7. ການປັບ Derailleur: After installation, perform a full derailleur adjustment, including B-tension, limit screws, and cable tension, to ensure smooth and accurate shifting across all gears.

ຫຼັກການປະຕິບັດການ

The Kogel Kolossos Oversized Pulley Cage is designed to enhance your cycling experience by reducing drivetrain friction and improving shifting precision. Its oversized pulleys decrease the angle at which the chain bends, leading to less friction and more efficient power transfer. The ceramic bearings further minimize resistance, contributing to a smoother and faster ride.

• Reduced Friction: The larger diameter pulleys and ceramic bearings significantly reduce frictional losses in the drivetrain.
• Improved Shift Accuracy: The precise design and long tooth profile on the lower pulley contribute to consistent and accurate gear changes.
• ການນໍາໃຊ້ອະເນກປະສົງ: Suitable for both on-road and off-road cycling conditions.
• ຄວາມເຂົ້າກັນໄດ້: Fits both SS (short) cage and GS (mid) cage Shimano RX800 and GRX derailleurs.

ບໍາລຸງຮັກສາ

Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and continued high performance of your Kogel Kolossos Oversized Pulley Cage.

ທໍາຄວາມສະອາດ:

• After each ride, especially in wet or dirty conditions, clean the pulleys and cage with a degreaser and a brush.
• ລ້າງໃຫ້ສະອາດດ້ວຍນ້ໍາແລະແຫ້ງຫມົດ.
• Avoid high-pressure washing directly on the bearings.

ການລະບາຍສີ:

• While the ceramic bearings are designed for low maintenance, occasional light lubrication of the chain and the interface between the pulleys and the cage can be beneficial.
• Use a high-quality, low-viscosity chain lubricant.

ການກວດກາ:

• Periodically inspect the pulleys for wear, especially the teeth. Worn teeth can lead to poor shifting and chain skipping.
• Check the cage for any signs of damage, bending, or cracks.
