• 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 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.
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 different gears.
At first, practice shifting where there are no obstacles, hazards or other traffic, 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 difficulties 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.
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 making sharp turns. On any bicycle, this technique will also prevent the inside pedal from striking the ground in
a turn.
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.
