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. See your dealer for help.

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. Note: Changing tire size or pedal

crank arm length affects toe overlap.

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. 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. 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.

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 nite set of speeds (anywhere from three to 18

speeds or more), or possibly an innitely variable inter-

nal 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
