Large Shift Paddle Adjustment

The reach of the large shift lever can be adjusted between the brake lever and the small shift lever. If the brake lever reach is adjusted, it is important to also adjust the large shift paddle reach. Overadjustment of the large shift lever can cause interference with the small brake lever or small shift lever.

Move the small paddle out of the way and use a 1.5mm hex wrench to adjust the movement of the larger shift paddle.
A clockwise adjustment moves the large paddle towards the handlebar and a counterclockwise adjustment moves the paddle away.
