Shimano ID-TX50 Service Instructions

Brand: Shimano

Model: ID-TX50

Category: Signal cables

Type: Service Instructions

Shimano ID-TX50 is a gear indicator system that provides visual information about the gear position of a bicycle. It is compatible with handlebars with a diameter of 22.2 mm or 25.4 mm and a length of 520 - 580 mm. The system includes an indicator, a lens cover, and an indicator cable. The indicator cable connects the indicator to the shifter, allowing the indicator to display the current gear position. The lens cover can be replaced to match the gears being used on the bicycle.

1. For REVOSHIFT/Fig.(1), turn the rotating part of the right shifter toward the

front wheel to return it to the initial position.

For a lever type/Fig.(2), operate the release lever that is in between the brake

lever and the handlebar 6 times or more to return it to the initial position.

2. Loosen the cover fixing screw and

remove the cover (A). Remove the

cover carefully and do not try to force

it off, otherwise the hooks that join the

cover to the body may become

broken.

3. When the cover is removed, the pulley

(B) will be visible, so after hooking the

ball (C) of the indicator cable into the

recess (D), run the cable along the

groove (E).

4. After this, pass the indicator cable

through the slit (G), and then screw in

the adjustment bolt (F) to adjust so

that the indicator and the number

match.

1. Push the surface with both thumbs as shown in the

illustration to remove the ID-TX50.

2. Remove the cover fixing screws and then remove the

cover, lens cover and indicator as shown in the

illustration.

3. Turn the pulley and remove the cable as shown in the

illustration.

Turn the pulley clockwise, and then insert the end of the

new cable until it is in the position shown in the illustration.

Install the indicator, lens cover and cover in that order.

1. Widen the SM-TX50/SC-TX50 clamp band, install it to the handlebar and then

provisionally secure it.

If the handlebar diameter is 22.2 mm or 25.4 mm, insert a plastic adapter in

between the clamp band and the handlebar.

2. Install the ID-TX50-L/ID-TX50-R by pressing from the rear so that the [–] mark

of the SM-TX50/SC-TX50 that is installed to the handlebar is aligned with the

[–] mark.

3. Sit on the bicycle and adjust the CI-DECK so that it is in a position where it is

easy to see, then tighten it in place.

4. Operate the shifter and check that the indicator and numerals match each

other. If they do not match, adjust by turning the adjustment bolt of the CI-

DECK indicator cable that is connected to the shifter.
