Sprockets marked by
are secured.

For each sprocket, the surface
that has the group mark should
face outward and be positioned
so that the wide parts of the
gear projections on each
sprocket and the A part (where
the groove width is wide) of the
freewheel body are aligned.

General Safety Information

WARNING

• Check that the wheels are fastened securely before riding the bicycle. If the wheels are
loose in any way, they may come off the bicycle and serious injury may result.

• Obtain and read the service instructions carefully prior to installing the parts. Loose,
worn or damaged parts may cause the bicycle to fall over and serious injury may occur as
a result. We strongly recommend only using genuine Shimano replacement parts.

• Read these Technical Service Instructions carefully, and keep them in a safe place for
later reference.

Note

• Do not use the CS-6500 in any combination other than with the CN-HG93, CN-7701.
Other chains cannot be used as the sizes do not match.

• An 11T and a 12T lock ring are available for use with the CS-6500. Use whichever lock
ring matches the sprocket configuration.

• If the wheel becomes stiff and difficult to turn, you should lubricate it with grease.

• Do not apply any oil to the inside of the hub, otherwise the grease will come out.

• You should periodically wash the sprockets in a neutral detergent and then lubricate them
again. In addition, cleaning the chain with neutral detergent and lubricating it can be a
effective way of extending the useful life of the sprockets and the chain.

• If the chain keeps coming off the sprockets during use, replace the sprockets and the
chain.

• Parts are not guaranteed against natural wear or deterioration resulting from normal use.

• For maximum performance we highly recommend Shimano lubricants and maintenance
products.
