    I just purchased a tandem 1985 RBC. The shimano looks different then the photo you show. It won’t shift into the lowest gear, all others are fine. There are 2 screw adjusters. Can you advise jme?

  3. Ghost Rider says:

    Mike…turn the screw labeled “H” out (loosen) just enough to permit a shift to the smallest cog in back. Too far and the chain may derail or jam between the cassette and the dropout.

    The procedure is explained pretty well here:
