C) Shifting the Front Derailleur

The front derailleur, which is controlled by the left

shifter, shifts the chain between the larger and smaller

chainrings. Shifting the chain onto a smaller chainring

makes pedaling easier (a downshift). Shifting to a

larger chainring makes pedaling harder (an upshift).

D) Which gear should I be in?

The combination of largest rear and smallest front

gears [Fig. 16] is for the steepest hills. The smallest

rear and largest front combination [Fig. 16] is for the

greatest speed. It is not necessary to shift gears in se-

quence. Instead, nd the “starting gear” which is right

for your level of ability — a gear which is hard enough

for quick acceleration but easy enough to let you start

from a stop without wobbling — and experiment with

upshifting and downshifting to get a feel for the differ-

ent gear combinations. At rst, practice shifting where

there are no obstacles, hazards or other trafc, until

you’ve built up your condence. If you have difculties

with shifting, the problem could be mechanical adjust-

ment. See your dealer for help.

WARNING: Never shift a derailleur onto the

largest or the smallest sprocket if the derailleur is

not shifting smoothly. The derailleur may be out of

adjustment and the chain could jam, causing you to

lose control and fall.

E) What if it won’t shift gears?

If moving the shift control one click repeatedly fails to

result in a smooth shift to the next gear chances are

that the mechanism is out of adjustment. Take the

bike to your dealer to have it adjusted.

Whether upshifting or downshifting, the bicycle derail-

leur system design requires that the drive chain be

moving forward and be under at least some tension.

A derailleur will shift only if you are pedaling forward.

CAUTION: Never move the shifter while

pedaling backward, nor pedal backwards after

having moved the shifter. This could jam the chain

and cause serious damage to the bicycle.

B) Shifting the Rear Derailleur

The rear derailleur is controlled by the right shifter.

The function of the rear derailleur is to move the drive

chain from one gear sprocket to another. The smaller

sprockets on the gear cluster produce higher gear

ratios. Pedaling in the higher gears requires greater

pedaling effort, but takes you a greater distance

with each revolution of the

pedal cranks. The larger

sprockets produce lower

gear ratios. Using them

requires less pedaling effort,

but takes you a shorter

distance with each pedal

crank revolution. Moving

the chain from a smaller

sprocket of the gear cluster

to a larger sprocket results

in a downshift. Moving the

chain from a larger sprocket

to a smaller sprocket results

in an upshift. In order for

the derailleur to move the

chain from one sprocket to

another, the rider must be

pedaling forward.
