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. Whether you have overlap or
not, you must keep the inside pedal up and the outside pedal
down when making sharp turns.
2. Some bicycles come equipped with pedals that have sharp and
potentially dangerous surfaces. These surfaces are designed to add safety
by increasing grip between the rider’s shoe and the pedal. If your bicycle
has this type of high-performance pedal, you must take extra care to avoid
serious injury from the pedals’ sharp surfaces. Based on your riding style or
skill level, you may prefer a less aggressive pedal design, or chose to ride
with shin pads. Your dealer can show you a number of options and make
suitable recommendations.
3. Toeclips and straps are a means to keep feet correctly positioned and
engaged with the pedals. The toeclip positions the ball of the foot over
the pedal spindle, which gives maximum pedaling power. The toe strap,
when tightened, keeps the foot engaged throughout the rotation cycle of
the pedal. While toeclips and straps give some benet with any kind of
shoe, they work most effectively with cycling shoes designed for use with
toeclips. Your dealer can explain how toeclips and straps work. Shoes with
deep treaded soles or welts which might make it more difcult for you to
insert or remove your foot should not be used with toeclips and straps.
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, nd 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 rst, practice shifting
where there are no obstacles, hazards or other trafc, until you’ve built up
your condence. Learn to anticipate the need to shift, and shift to a lower
gear before the hill gets too steep. If you have dif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.
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
