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. You can begin pedaling from any gear, you do not

have to ride beginning in the easiest gear. However, 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 moving into harder and

easier gears 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," meaning smallest front

chainring and smallest rear cog, or

"largest to largest," meaning biggest

front chainring and biggest rear cog

gear gear combinations because they

may cause unacceptable stress on

the drivetrain. 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) 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.

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, or chose to ride with

shin pads. Your dealer can show you a number of options

and make suitable recommendations.

3. Clipless pedals (sometimes called “step-in pedals”)

are another means to keep feet securely in the correct

position for maximum pedaling efciency. They have a

plate, called a “cleat,” on the sole of the shoe, which clicks

into a mating spring-loaded xture on the pedal. They
