results in an upshift. In order for the derailleur to move

the chain from one sprocket to another, the rider must

be pedaling forward.

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

sequence. 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 different gear

combinations. At rst, practice

shifting where there are no

obstacles, hazards or other

trafc, until you’ve built up your

condence. Learn not to use

either the “smallest to smallest”

or “largest to largest” gear

combinations because they may cause unacceptable

stress on the drive train.

derailleur (for details, read the instructions on Shifting

the Rear Derailleur and Shifting the Front Derailleur

below). For example, you can select a gear which will

make pedaling easier on a hill (make a downshift) in

one of two ways: shift the chain down the gear “steps”

to a smaller gear at the front, or up the gear “steps”

to a larger gear at the rear. So, at the rear gear

cluster, what is called a downshift looks like an upshift.

The way to keep things straight is to remember that

shifting the chain in towards the centerline of the

bike is for accelerating and climbing and is called a

downshift. Moving the chain out or away from the

centerline of the bike is for speed and is called an

upshift.

Whether upshifting or downshifting, the bicycle

derailleur 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
