PART 1
4.D  Shifting Gears
Section 4. Tech
Cannondale Bicycle Owner’s Manual
2. Adjusting your coaster brake
Coaster brake service and adjustment
requires special tools and special knowledge.
Do not attempt to disassemble or service
your coaster brake. Take the bicycle to your
dealer for coaster brake service.
4.D  Shifting Gears
Your multi-speed bicycle will have a
derailleur drivetrain (see 1. below), an internal
gear hub drivetrain (see 2. below) or, in some
special cases, a combination of the two.
1. How a derailleur drivetrain works
If your bicycle has a derailleur drivetrain, the
gear-changing mechanism will have:
a rear cassette or freewheel sprocket
cluster
a rear derailleur
usually a front derailleur
one or two shifters
one, two or three front sprockets called
chainrings
a drive chain
a. Shifting Gears
There are several dierent types and styles
of shifting controls: levers, twist grips,
triggers, combination shift/brake controls,
push-buttons, and so on. Ask your dealer to
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 “lower”
or “slower” gear, one which is easier to pedal.
An upshift is a shift to a “higher” or “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.
