• Be sure to follow the instructions provided in the
manuals when installing the product.
Only use SHIMANO genuine parts. If a component or
replacement part is incorrectly assembled or adjusted,
it can lead to component failure and cause the rider to
lose control and crash.
•
Wear approved eye protection while performing
maintenance tasks such as replacing components.
Be sure to also inform users of the following:
• Because each bicycle may handle slightly differently
depending on the model, be sure to learn the proper
braking technique (including brake lever pressure and
bicycle control characteristics) and operation of your
bicycle. Improper use of your bicycle’s brake system
may result in a loss of control, which could lead to
serious injury due to a fall or collision.
• Use brake levers with mode switching mechanism in the
combinations shown in the figures. The brake levers are
equipped with a mode switching mechanism which can
be used to make them compatible with cantilever
brakes, roller brakes or V-BRAKE brakes with power
modulator. (SB-8S20-A / SB-C3000-7 is compatible with
roller brakes or V-BRAKE brakes with power modulator.
Note that SB-8S20-A / SB-C3000-7 is not compatible with
cantilever brakes.)
If the incorrect mode is selected, it
may result in either excessive or insufficient braking
force, which is highly dangerous.
Select the correct
mode as shown in the figures.

• Check that the wheels are fastened securely before
riding the bicycle. You may fall or collide and be
seriously injured.

TO ENSURE SAFETY
For Installation to the Bicycle, and Maintenance:
• When securing the brake arm to the frame, be sure to
use an arm clip that matches the size of the chainstay,
and securely tighten them with the clip bolt and clip
nut to the specified tightening torque.
Use a lock nut with nylon insert (self-locking nut) as the
clip nut. It is recommended that SHIMANO made clip
bolts, clip nuts, and arm clips be used.
If the clip nut comes off the brake arm, or if the clip
bolt or arm clip becomes damaged, the brake arm may
rotate on the chainstay and cause the handlebars to
jerk suddenly, or the bicycle wheel may lock and result
in serious injury due to a fall or collision.
• When installing the hub to the frame, be sure to install
the correct non-turn washers to the left and right sides,
and securely tighten the hub nuts to the specified
torques. If the non-turn washers are installed on one
side only, or if the hub nuts are not tightened
sufficiently, the non-turn washer may fall out, which
could cause the hub axle to rotate and the cassette
joint to turn, resulting in the handlebars being
accidentally pulled by the shifting cable and an
extremely serious accident.
• Check the thickness of the brake pads and do not use
them if they have a thickness of 0.5 mm or less. Doing
so may prevent the brakes from operating and result in
serious injury due to a fall or collision.
12
1 2 mm
2 0.5 mm
• Do not use the disc brake rotor if it is cracked or
deformed. The disc brake rotor may break, and result
in serious injury due to a fall or collision.
• Do not use the disc brake rotor if its thickness is 1.5 mm
or less. Also do not use it if the aluminum surface
becomes visible. The disc brake rotor may break, and
result in serious injury due to a fall or collision.
Coaster brake hub
Disc brake rotor
• Keep your fingers away from rotating disc brake rotors.
Disc brake rotors are sharp enough to severely injure
your fingers if caught within the openings of a disc
brake rotor.
• Do not touch the calipers or disc brake rotor while
riding or immediately after dismounting from the
bicycle. The calipers and disc brake rotor will become
hot when the brakes are operated, so you may get
burned if you touch them.
• Do not allow any oil or grease to get onto the disc
brake rotor and brake pads.Riding the bicycle with oil
or grease on the disc brake rotor and brake pads may
prevent the brakes from operating and result in serious
injury due to a fall or collision.
• If any oil or grease gets on the brake pads, consult a
dealer or an agency. Otherwise the brakes may not
work correctly.
• When using a reversed rear dropout, use a chain
adjuster to remove excess slack from the chain.
CAUTION
Be sure to also inform users of the following:
• Be sure to shift the shifter one gear at a time. During
shifting, reduce the pedal pressure. If you try to force
operation of the shifter or suddenly perform multishifting while the pedals are being turned strongly,
your feet may come off the pedals and the bicycle may
fall over, which could result in serious injury.
Using the shifter to multi-shift to a light gear may also
cause the outer casing to spring out of the shifter.
This does not affect the capabilities of the shifter
because the outer casing returns to the original
position after shifting.
7
Page 8
TO ENSURE SAFETY
• When the brake is used frequently, do not touch the
area around the brake for at least 30 minutes after
riding the bicycle. The area around the brake may
become hot.
1
1 Area around the brake
Coaster brake specifications
• Do not continuously apply the brakes when riding
down long slopes. This will cause the internal brake
parts to become very hot, weakening braking
performance, as well as causing a reduction in the
amount of brake grease inside the brake, which can
lead to problems such as abnormally sudden braking.
• Spin the wheel and confirm that the braking force of
the coaster brake is correct.

Page 9
TO ENSURE SAFETY
NOTICE
Be sure to also inform users of the following:
• The gears can be shifted while lightly pedaling, but on rare occasions the pawls and ratchet inside the hub may produce
some noise afterwards as part of normal gear shifting operation.
• The internal geared hub is not completely waterproof. Avoid using the hub in places where water might get inside and do
not use high-pressure water to clean the hub, otherwise the internal mechanism may rust.
• All of the following occurrences are due to the internal gear-shifting structure and are not the failure of the internal
components.
Phenomenon
A clicking is felt in the pedal when you
place your foot on a pedal and move the
bicycle backward.
Noise occurs when the pedals rotate.
Noise occurs when the bicycle is pushed
backward.
The hub has a built-in mechanism that
supports gear shifting and when the
mechanism operates during gear shifting,
noise and vibrations occur.
Depending on gear position, gearshifting may feel different.
Noise occurs when pedal rotation is
stopped during riding.

TO ENSURE SAFETY
For Installation to the Bicycle, and Maintenance:
• The cassette joint should only be used with sprockets
with 16T to 23T.
• It is recommended that the chainring of the front be
set to the following gear ratio.
7-speed, 8-speed: approx. 2.1
5-speed: approx. 2.0
Example) For 26 inch wheels
Front 36T38T46T
7-speed,
Rear
8-speed
5-speed 18T19T23T
• In order to maintain proper performance, it is
recommended that you lubricate the internal unitonce
a year from the start of use (or once about every 2,000
km if the bicycle is used very frequently). If the bicycle
is used under harsh conditions, more frequent
maintenance is required. Also, for carrying out
maintenance, the use of SHIMANO internal geared hub
grease or a lubrication kit is recommended. If
SHIMANO grease or a SHIMANO lubrication kit is not
used, problems such as a malfunction in shifting unit
may occur.
• Use a wheel with 3x or 4x lacing. Wheels with radial
lacing cannot be used. Otherwise, the spokes or the
wheel may get damaged, or noise may occur when
braking.
• If the wheel becomes difficult to turn, lubricate it with
grease.
• The gears should be periodically washed with a neutral
detergent. In addition, cleaning the chain with neutral
detergent and lubricating it can be an effective way of
extending the life of the gears and the chain.
• If the chain keeps coming off the gears during use,
replace the gears and chain.
16T18T22T
Coaster brake specifications
• If the wheel becomes difficult to turn, you should
replace the brake shoes or lubricate with grease.
• Use only the specified grease for the brake shoes and
when using a lubrication kit, remove the brake shoes
to avoid contact with the oil.
The actual product may differ from the illustration
because this manual is intended mainly to explain the

Oil maintenance of the internal assembly
In order to maintain proper performance, it is recommended
that you lubricate the internal unitonce a year from the
start of use (or once about every 2,000 km if the bicycle is
used very frequently). If the bicycle is used under harsh
conditions, more frequent maintenance is required. Also, for
carrying out maintenance, the use of SHIMANO internal
geared hub grease or a lubrication kit is recommended. If
SHIMANO grease or a SHIMANO lubrication kit is not used,
problems such as a malfunction in shifting unit may occur.
