^^^this. Adjustment is only a matter of having the cable tight enough to engage low, slack enough to engage hi while avoiding the neutral spot between 2nd and 3rd. A useful tip: There's no need to tighten the indicator pin when you screw it into the hub. Back it off a bit so the chain can self level against the top of the axle nut. Looks like a good bike. Around here, we nickname these scorchers.
