d. Which gear should I be in?

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 3, 5, 7, 8, 12 speed or possibly an
infinitely variable internal 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 the desired gear.
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, find 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
dierent gears. At first, practice shifting
where there are no obstacles, hazards or
other trac, until you’ve built up your
confidence. Learn to anticipate the need to
shift, and shift to a lower gear before the hill
gets too steep. If you have di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.
