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.

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

explain the type of shifting controls that are on your

bike, and to show you how they work.

The vocabulary of shifting can be pretty confusing.

A downshift is a shift to a “slower” gear, one which

is easier to pedal. An upshift is a shift to a “faster”,

harder to pedal gear. What’s confusing is that what’s

happening at the front derailleur is the opposite of

what’s happening at the rear 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 23
