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 is for the greatest speed. It is not necessary to shift
gears in sequence. Instead, find 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upshiftinganddownshiftingto
get a feel for the different gear combinations. At first, practice
shifting where there are no obstacles, hazards or other traffic,
until you’ve built up your confidence.
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3,5,7,8,12speedorpossiblyaninnitely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 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.
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.
