Kore I-Beam Saddle 27 2009 DAHON, BPSA 2009.09.DS.EN The original low-profle Dahon Neos derailleur is specially designed for small wheels. The Neos allows for twice as much ground clearance than a conventional derailleur and the cache technology means that the derailleur body lies fush underneath the chain stays. In this way the derailleur body only projects 12 mm from the chain stays and is much more protected than a derailleur which protrudes by up to 40 mm. And the new Neos 2.0 is the next evolutionary step with upgraded materials and reduced weight. WARNING: If you are in any way unsure of how to make these adjustments yourself, take your bike to a qualifed technician for professional adjustment. Due to its special design the Dahon Neos derailleurs position differs from that of a conventional derailleur. Compared to a conventional derailleur it is aligned in the opposite direction, i.e. the adjustment screws and the wire adjustment bolt are facing forward. But nevertheless, you can adjust it like any other derailleur. Please follow the instructions below.
