3.8 Gears
The gears are operated by controls (gear lever, twist grips, buttons, etc.)
on the handlebars. Switching gears allows you to change gears on your
bicycle and hence adapt the transmission ratio to riding conditions. For a
straight, level stretch, a high transmission ratio (high gear) makes sense in
order to achieve higher speeds and avoid having to pedal too much. Once
you go up a slope, a lower transmission ratio (lower gear) is more useful,
as this allows you to climb the slope with less eort. Select the gears so
that your legs are always moving at a steady pace.
Derailleur
This system lifts the chain on to a
sprocket when the gear is changed. The
chain must continue moving so that the
teeth of the sprocket can engage with the
chain links easily and smoothly. For a
successful gear change, therefore, you
must keep pedalling forwards, never
backwards – but at the same time pedal
lightly without force.
IMPORTANT
You should clean the pinions at regular intervals with a neutral
cleaner. Cleaning with a neutral cleaner and then lubricating can
eectively extend the life span of the pinions and chain.

3.9 Wheel
DANGER
Check that the wheels are securely mounted on the bicycle before
riding. If the wheels are not securely mounted, they can come loose
during the ride and cause serious injury.
