  1. We have two Dahon Boardwalk folding bicycles fitted with six Shimano gears changed by a MRX twist grip numbered 1 to 6.
    Unfortunately on both bikes the number on the twist grip does not correspond with the right gear by one gear. That is if the twist grip shows number 1 you are in fact in the second gear and so on.
    As there is no information supplied at all on the gears would appreciate any advice as to whether this a cable adjustment or does one fiddle with the H and L screws down the bottom?

  2. Maybe this will help...

    Many thanks - it certainly will.

  4. The park tool site has some more specific instructions for those of us who are less mechanically inclined (i.e. me 🙂 )

    Thanks Rek - that site is also helpful. The top cable adjuster solved my immediate problem. Whoopee can now use all the gears.

    Incidentally can thorughly recommend the Dahon Boardwalk bike.

    regards
    Ramon
