However, when the switch is in the 'on' position, the pulley cage spring tension is significantly increased, effectively tightening the drivetrain. The derailleur should be ridden with the switch in the 'on' position all the time. The 'off' setting allows the shifting to be initially adjusted and makes it easier to remove the rear wheel.
