SHIFTING SYSTEM
THEORETICAL FOUNDATION
The shifting system on the bike is used to
adapt one’s own performance to the terrain
and the desired speed. The physical work is
not reduced by the shifting system rather
the force required per crank revolution is
changed.
PROPER SHIFTING
Gradients can be powered up using low
gears and moderate force but youll have
to pedal faster. Downhill you can travel a
greater distance per turn of the crank.
The speed will be correspondingly high.
Like a car you must maintain your optimum
“engine” speed to perform well. What’s key
to your performance is keeping the number
of crank revolutions per minute (cadence)
above 60. Racing cyclists typically ride with
a cadence of 90 110. This rate naturally falls
o a bit during hill climbs but you should still
maintain smooth pedaling. The incremental
shifting steps and ease of use of modern
shifting systems oer the best conditions for
an ecient ride that is easy on your knees.
Practice shifting in a trac-free
area so that you can become
familiar with the rotation of the
shifters and pressing the levers.
The practice area should be free
of potential hazards.
DANGER!
Never pedal backwards while
changing the gears. The shifting
system could be damaged.
ATTENTION!
