DEVELOPMENT
C1.12
The specified values in m (ft) per crank revolution
correspond to the recommended ratio for sprocket (rear) : chain ring
(front) 26 : 30 = 0.866.
The calculation is based on the tyre size 28×1.4(37-622).
You can find a convenient program for calculating your individual ratio
as well as the development values of other types of Pinion gearbox at
Use other than as intended may cause accidents resulting in death
or serious injury.
Pinion gearboxes are designed and intended exclusively
•·
for installation on bicycle frames designed for the purpose with stiff rear triangle
and a corresponding gearbox interface in the area of the bottom bracket.
•·
for installation on bicycle frames designed for the purpose with suspension
rear triangle and a corresponding gearbox interface in the area of the bottom
bracket – and, if necessary, in combination with a suitable chain or belt tensioner
system that compensates for the distance between the chain ring and sprocket or
between the belt sprockets that varies with the movement of the suspension.
•·
for use with a single-gear rear freewheel rear hub without a back pedal brake*.
•·
for use with a rear cassette freewheel rear hub with spacers for setting the correct
chain line.
•·
for use with a rear hub with an electric drive motor.
•·
for use with a suitable chain or belt tensioner system.
•·
for the maximum approved rider weight –see
Pinion gearboxes must never be used in combination with a stiff single gear rear hub!
* A back pedal brake cannot be used with the freewheel integrated in the gearbox!
TECHNICAL DATA, page 6.
BASIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS …
Always remember that cycling can be dangerous for the rider and other people and
also for the bicycle and its components. Accidents resulting in death or serious injury
may happen even with the best protective equipment and all required safety devices.
Use your common sense and avoid dangerous actions.
… FOR INSTALLATION & MAINTENANCE
A gearbox damaged as a result of faulty or non-approved installa-
tion may cause an accident.
Ζ
Don't overestimate your technical ability. Have all installation and maintenance
work done by a specialist workshop for bicycles. That is the only way to be sure
that the work is done correctly. For a list of Pinion dealers and specialist workshops, refer to https://pinion.eu/en/dealer-overwiew/. For direct access scan the
QR code –see OVERVIEW OF DEALERS, page 32.
Ζ
Installation work that is not described in this owner's manual (e.g. opening the
gearbox, retightening the housing screws, etc.) must be done exclusively by a
specialist workshop authorized by Pinion or by the Pinion company itself.
Do not attempt work of this type yourself – you will not only endanger your own
health but you may be exposed to liability claims.
Ζ
Never modify your Pinion product in any way (e.g. grinding, drilling, painting, etc.).
Ζ
Always use a torque wrench designed for the required torque at installation steps
that require a specific tightening torque.
Ζ
Keep your bicycle in good technical condition at all times.
Unsuitable accessories and additional components may cause
accidents.
Ζ
Use original Pinion parts and lubricants exclusively.
Ζ
Use a rear wheel quick release system that reaches the required closing pressure
of at least 4000 N exclusively. It is best to use a rear hub that is permanently
fastened with axle nuts in the rear triangle, or which has a through axle.
Ζ
Use exclusively a bicycle chain with a width of 6.6 – 6.8 mm (9-speed) and an
appropriately sized sprocket, or a toothed belt system approved by Pinion.
8
Page 9
SAFETY
Rust-free (e.g. stainless) steel screws and add-ons (protection
plate, etc.) will cause corrosion on the gearbox housing.
Ζ
Use original Pinion screws exclusively.
Ζ
Do not mount any stainless steel add-ons directly on the gearbox housing under
any circumstances.
… WHEN ON THE ROAD
Component failure may cause accidents.
Ζ
Before every ride make sure that the quick release system of your wheels is
correctly installed and that your wheels cannot be accidentally released.
Ζ
Before every ride make sure that your brakes are operating correctly and the brake
pads are not excessively worn.
Ζ
Before every ride make sure your chain or belt is correctly tensioned.
Ζ
Never exceed the maximum approved rider weight –see TECHNICAL DATA, page 6.
Ζ
Avoid jumping from a great height – this exposes your Pinion gearbox to very high
load peaks.
Ζ
Never ride with your Pinion gearbox if damage (to the gearbox housing, cranks,
etc.) is visible, unusual noises can be heard, or if you have any doubts the condition of the gearbox. Have your Pinion gearbox checked by a specialist workshop for
bicycles.
For a list of Pinion dealers and specialist workshops, refer to https://pinion.eu/en/
dealer-overwiew/. For direct access scan the QR code –see OVERVIEW OF DEALERS,
page 32.
Ζ
Do not ride with your Pinion gearbox below -20 °C (-4 °F) or above 40 °C (104 °F)
ambient temperature.
Incorrect riding behaviour or improper equipment may cause
accidents.
Ζ
Always obey the traffic regulations of the country where you are riding your bicycle
(lights, reflector, etc.) and also the regulations governing off-road mountain
biking.
Ζ
Always wear a good-quality, undamaged cycling helmet (e.g. ANSI-certified) and
clothing that is close-fitting but does not hinder movement.
Ζ
Ride your bicycle only when you are in good physical condition and your bicycle
and all its components are in good condition.

Page 10
ON THE ROAD
RUNNING IN THE GEARBOX
The surfaces of the gears and transmission components are smoothed down over
the first 1000 km of cycling. Following that, the gearbox will run more smoothly – with slick shifting
operations.
Any roughness present in the drive or when shifting gear is normal when your Pinion gearbox is new,
and is nothing to be concerned about!
BEFORE EVERY RIDE
Component failure may cause accidents.
Ζ
Before every ride make sure that the quick release system of your wheels is correctly installed and
that your wheels cannot be accidentally released.
Ζ
Before every ride make sure that your brakes are operating correctly and the brake pads are not
excessively worn.
Ζ
Before every ride make sure your chain or belt is correctly tensioned.
Ζ
Never ride with your Pinion gearbox if damage (to the gearbox housing, cranks, etc.) is visible,
unusual noises can be heard, or if you have any doubts the condition of the gearbox. Have your
Pinion gearbox checked by a specialist workshop for bicycles.
A chain or belt that continues to rotate when the crank is stationary because
the sprocket or belt sprocket and rear hub do not move easily during freewheel may cause an
accident.
Ζ
Before every ride make sure that the sprocket or belt sprocket and rear hub freewheel smoothly.
* Cracking or creaking noises when pedalling do not come from the inside of your
Pinion gearbox, but usually originate from a loosened bolted connection – in most cases the noise is
eliminated after tightening the pedals, for example. If not, you can find help in a specialist workshop
for bicycles – they will know about other possible problem areas which can often be resolved with
little effort.

C1.6
SHIFTING CORRECTLY
The mark
You can shift through several gears with one movement (e.g. from 06 to 02).
You can shift at a standstill or with the crank rotating backwards and this protects
the gearbox.
Downshifting (12–11–10– … –01) under load is possible to a limited extent.
The shifting operation is not executed if the pressure on the crank or pedal is too high.
1
A mechanism in the gearbox allows upshifts (01–02– … –12) under load. This is
possible during all gear shifts, except when shifting between each of the sub-units. At these points
the pressure on the pedal must be momentarily released.
ÎÎ
Always reduce the pressure on the pedal during downshifts (12–11–10– … –01).
ÎÎ
When shifting up from 04 to 05 and from 08 to 09 always reduce the pressure on the pedal.
ÎÎ
When shifting up from 03 to 04 and from 06 to 07 always reduce the pressure on the pedal.
ÎÎ
5
When shifting up from 03 to 04 always reduce the pressure on the pedal.
Occasionally it can happen that your crank "drops" by about 10° after a shifting operation, you feel a short jolt caused when a gear is not engaged directly until the pawl has engaged in
the next tooth. This phenomenon cannot be eliminated, but it does not lead to damage to the gearbox.

MAINTENANCE
REGULAR MAINTENANCE WORK
The frequency of use and weather conditions determine the frequency of maintenance
work on your Pinion gearbox.
Carry out the following maintenance operations more frequently if you use your bicycle under extreme
conditions (rain, road grit, dirt, long distances etc.).
Corrosion and material damage by penetration of water.
Ζ
Never use a pressure cleaner or steam cleaner to clean your bicycle – the seals in the bicycle
components cannot withstand this pressure.
Ζ
Be careful even if you use an ordinary hose. Never direct a spray of water directly at the areas of
(

It is essential that you use commercially available shifting cables with dimension Ø1.1–1.25 mm,
nipple 4.4 × 4.4 mm. Genuine Pinion shifting cables guarantee optimum shifting behaviour and can
be ordered from one of the Pinion bicycle dealers.
As a tool for dealing with breakdowns when you are out riding, you will find a bit
(size 1.5 mm/4 mm) inserted inside your rotary shifter
(1)
– this fits the clamping screws of the cable
clamps. You can use the rotary shifter cover as a tool holder if necessary.
During installation of the shifting cables, you will need to move the sun gear of your
Pinion gearbox, so it is a good idea if the right crank and chain ring are fitted. This makes it much

INSTALLING PINION CHAIN TENSIONER
www.pinion.eu
If a chain tensioner fails because of improper use, it can cause an accident.
The Pinion chain tensioner is designed and intended exclusively for use with a Pinion gearbox.
Ζ
Only ever install the Pinion chain tensioner on the chain tensioner socket provided for this
purpose on your Pinion gearbox.
Stainless steel screws will cause corrosion on the gearbox housing.
Ζ
Use original Pinion screws exclusively.
The Pinion chain tensioner can be installed in position A, B or C – depending on the
mounting position of your Pinion gearbox.
1
Make sure that your Pinion chain tensioner can transfer the tension effect in full to your bicycle chain
in the position that you select, but also cannot contact the chain stay or tyre of your bicycle at any
position.

REPLACING CHAIN RING
If you need to replace the chain ring of your Pinion gearbox (because of wear, different
1
2
gear ratio, replacement by chain ring spider), you can order it with the required tools from one of the
Pinion bicycle dealers.
Another method of changing the gear ratio is to replace the sprocket on your rear
wheel.
Chain ring, sprocket and chain always wear on opposite sides during use.
This means that the drive might stop working without problems (chain disengages, more noise) if only
one of these parts is replaced. We recommend always replacing all these parts if one needs replacing.

CHAIN/TOOTHED BELT – LENGTH & TENSION
The correct length of a bicycle chain or toothed belt depends on various factors:
•·
The number of teeth on the sprocket and chain ring or belt sprockets – after replacement it may
be necessary to determine the correct length of the bicycle chain or toothed belt again.
•·
Suspension travel and type of spring rear hub of your bicycle frame – follow the manufacturer's
instructions.
•·
Type of chain tensioner or tensioning system (horizontal dropouts with adjusting screws) – follow
the manufacturer's instructions.
The basic rule for the length of a bicycle chain or toothed belt is as short as possible and as long as
necessary. The function and adjustment range of your tensioning system and the complete suspension
of the rear triangle must not be impaired under any circumstances.
Accelerated wear of the complete drive because of excessively high tension.
Ζ
For direct tension (horizontal dropouts with adjusting screws) make sure that the chain or toothed
belt has approx. 10–15 mm play
35
Ζ
Make sure that the gaps between your rear hub and the chain line or beltline of your Pinion
gearbox match –see
Accelerated wear of the complete drive because of skewed running.
