Recommended Chainwheel/Rear Sprocket Gear Combinations
Hand Grip Shifters
Some bicycles are now being equipped with a shifting mechanism 
called Grip Shift™, which is built into the handlebar grips and does 
not make use of separate levers. The actuating mechanism is built 
into the inside part of the grip that the web of the thumb and index 
finger closes around. To select a lower gear, twist the right shifter 
toward you to engage a larger rear cog. You can shift one gear at a 
time by moving the Grip Shift™ one click, or through multiple gears 
by continued twisting. By twisting the left shifter forward or away from 
you, a smaller chainwheel can be selected. To select a higher gear, 
twist the right shifter forward or away from you to engage a smaller 
rear cog. To engage a larger front chainwheel, twist the left shifter 
towards you. Single shifts can be achieved by twisting one click at a 
time and multiple shifts by larger twists.
