Note

This tutorial describes how to set up 11-speed Di2 systems for gravel and road groupsets. The images show a different rear derailleur model and are for illustrative purposes only. For more details, please refer to the manufacturer's manual.

Adjustment points

  • H-screw (outer end stop adjustment)
  • L-shaped screw (inner end stop adjustment)
  • B-screw (chain wrap adjustment)
  • Function button at the end of the handlebar (switch to settings mode)
  • Shift buttons on the shifter (rear derailleur fine-tuning)

Step 1: Adjusting the chain wrap

  • Shift to the small chainring at the front and the largest sprocket at the rear.
  • Turn the B-screw in or out to adjust the distance between the upper pulley wheel and the largest sprocket.
  • The gap should be as small as possible, but large enough to prevent contact and ensure that the chain runs smoothly.
  • Shift to the large chainring at the front and the smallest sprocket at the rear.
  • Make sure that there is no contact between the pulley wheel and the sprocket in this position either.

Step 2: Adjusting the gears

  • Move up to 5th gear (fifth-largest sprocket).
  • Press and hold the function button at the end of the handlebar (above the charging port) until the LED turns red (setting mode).
  • You can now use the buttons on the shifter to move the rear derailleur in small increments to the left or right.
  • Move it all the way to the left until the chain touches the 4th sprocket and until a slight noise can be heard when turning the crank forward.  
  • Now move the rear derailleur 5 notches to the right toward the 5th sprocket. For road groupsets, there are only 4 steps.
  • Press and hold the function button at the end of the handlebar until the LED stops flashing red (normal mode).
  • Shift through all the gears. If the chain is rubbing in a gear, repeat the procedure in that gear.

Step 3: Adjusting the end stops

  • Shift to the small chainring at the front and the largest sprocket at the rear.
  • Now turn the L-screw (clockwise) until the front end lightly touches the stop (on the opposite side).
  • Shift to the large chainring at the front and the smallest sprocket at the rear.
  • Now turn the H-screw (clockwise) until the front end lightly touches the stop (on the opposite side).
  • Finally, turn the H-screw back one turn.

Your rear derailleur should now shift smoothly and run silently.
If it cannot be adjusted in this way, there may be various reasons such as a bent derailleur hanger. In such cases, the service workshop in your Rose store will be happy to help you.
