Derailleur
Hub gear

The gear change on the left handlebar operates the front derailleur on the crankset. Switching to a larger
chainring results in a higher gear ratio (= higher gear). The resistance to pedalling becomes higher, but you
can reach a greater speed.
The gear change on the right handlebar activates the rear derailleur. Here switching to a larger sprocket
results in a lower gear ratio (= lower gear). The pedalling resistance becomes lower, you can reach a lower
speed, but it is easier to climb hills.
The number of gears is determined as follows: Number of chainrings at the front multiplied by the number
of geared rings at the back, e.g. 2 chainrings x 10 geared rings = 20 gears.
