Chapter 1: Guide to Safe On-and-Off Road Operation11

We make bicycles so that the left brake-lever

controls the front-wheel brake. To change your

bicycle so that the right brake-lever controls the

front-wheel brake, see Chapter 3.

Many models of modern brakes are very powerful;

they are made to stop a bicycle in wet or muddy

conditions. If you think your brakes are too

powerful, transport your bicycle to your dealer for

adjustment or replacement of the brake system.

Change Gears Correctly

You can change to the gear combination that

is most comfortable for the conditions, a gear

that lets you to pedal at a constant rate. Gear

change systems are of two types: derailleur

(external) and internal.

To change gears with a derailleur

The left shift-lever controls the front derailleur and

the right shift-lever controls the rear derailleur.

Use only one shift-lever at a time. Change gears

only when the pedals and chain move forward.

When you change gears, decrease the force on

the pedals to change gears quickly and smoothly,

to decrease chain and gear wear, and to prevent

bent chains, derailleurs, or chainrings. Do not

change gears when you ride over bumps; the

chain could miss a gear or fall off.

With modern, indexed gear-change systems, a

movement of the shift-lever from one position

to the other position (or movement of the shift-

lever to the “shift” position) will promptly move

the chain to a different gear.

Bicycles that have STI road shift-levers and

three chainrings can change front gears better

if you “hold” the lever for a moment before

you release the left shift-lever. This is most

important when you change gears from the

smallest chainring to the middle chainring.

To change gears with internal gears

To change gears, move the pedals to the rear

or do not move them. If you must change gears

while you pedal, decrease your pressure on the

pedals. Too much tension on the chain prevents

the correct operation of the gear change

mechanism and could damage the mechanism.

Use Pedal Systems Carefully

If your feet are secured to the pedals, the

connection can allow you to pedal more

efﬁciently, apply greater power to the pedals,

or increase your control of the bicycle. Some

bicycles are equipped with one of these systems:

• Toe-clips and straps attach your feet to the

pedals with a strap with a locator that wraps

up and in front of your toes.

• Clipless pedals use a spring-loaded mechanism

to engage a cleat, a small plate attached to the

bottom of a special cycling shoe.

If you choose to ride with one of these systems,

practice entry and exit from the pedal before

you ride. Keep the pedals and your shoes

clean and free of debris that could interfere

with the pedal system. Make sure any release

mechanism operates correctly, and adjust it for

your riding.

If you are not familiar with the pedals or the

correct procedures, read the information on the

Owner’s Manual CD or consult your dealer.

WARNING: A pedal system that

operates incorrectly could cause your

feet to become trapped or allow your

feet to release from the pedal

unexpectedly, causing you to lose

control. Make sure you are familiar

with the pedal system before riding,

and that the pedal system operates

correctly.
