c. 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.

E) PEDALS

1. Toe Overlap is when your toe can touch the front wheel

when you turn the handlebars to steer while a pedal is in

the forwardmost position. This is common on small-framed

bicycles, and is avoided by keeping the inside pedal up and

the outside pedal down when turning. On any bicycle, this

technique will also prevent the inside pedal from striking

the ground in a turn.

WARNING: Toe Overlap could cause you to lose control

and fall. Ask your dealer to help you determine if the

combination of frame size, crank arm length, pedal design

and shoes you will use results in pedal overlap. Whether

you have overlap or not, you must keep the inside pedal up

and the outside pedal down when making sharp turns.

2. Some bicycles come equipped with pedals that have

sharp and potentially dangerous surfaces. These surfaces

are designed to add safety by increasing adhesion between

the rider’s shoe and the pedal. If your bicycle has this

type of high-performance pedal, you must take extra care

to avoid serious injury from the pedals’ sharp surfaces.

Based on your riding style or skill level, you may prefer a

less aggressive pedal design. Your dealer can show you a

number of options and make suitable recommendations.

3. Toeclips and straps are a means to keep feet correctly

positioned and engaged with the pedals. The toeclip

positions the ball of the foot over the pedal spindle, which

gives maximum pedaling power. The toe strap, when

tightened, keeps the foot engaged throughout the rotation

cycle of the pedal. While toeclips and straps give some

2. How an internal gear hub drivetrain works

If your bicycle has an internal gear hub drivetrain, the

gear changing mechanism will consist of:

• a 3, 5, 7, 8, 12 speed or possibly an innitely variable

internal gear hub

• one, or sometimes two shifters

• one or two control cables

• one front sprocket called a chainring

• a drive chain

a. Shifting internal gear hub gears

Shifting with an internal gear hub drivetrain is simply a

matter of moving the shifter to the indicated position for

the desired gear ratio. After you have moved the shifter to

the gear position of your choice, ease the pressure on the

pedals for an instant to allow the hub to complete the shift.

b. Which gear should I be in?

The numerically lowest gear (1) is for the steepest hills.

The numerically largest gear is for the greatest speed.

Shifting from an easier, “slower” gear (like 1) to a harder,

“faster” gear (like 2 or 3) is called an upshift. Shifting

from a harder, “faster” gear to an easier, “slower” gear

is called a downshift. It is not necessary to shift gears

in sequence. Instead, nd the “starting gear” for the

conditions — 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 different gears. At rst,

practice shifting where there are no obstacles, hazards or

other trafc, until you’ve built up your condence. Learn

to anticipate the need to shift, and shift to a lower gear

before the hill gets too steep. If you have difculties with

shifting, the problem could be mechanical adjustment.
