  1. Is there a good guide to adjusting derailleur gears on the net anywhere?

    On a child's bike with six gears and a gripshift (Shimano Revoshift):

    1st looks as though it's trying to jump the chain inwards, off the
    sprockets
    2nd and 3rd run smoothly and quietly
    4th wants to jump into 5th
    5th tries to jump into 6th
    6th seems happy enough

    It seems to me that the shift mechanism is moving the derailleur too far
    between gears, and that this needs to be adjusted slightly.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks,

    Daniele

    The amount of shift on index gears is not adjustable, maybe you have the
    wrong shifters or maybe the derailleur or its hanger are bent.
