Using the Rear Shier
The rear shier (right) will have an indicator that reads either
low to high or a series of numbers from 1 and up. Low or “1” is
the lowest gear. This is used for slower riding, hill climbing, or to
allow for easier pedaling. It is recommended to start o in this
gear and move through the gears as speed increases as needed,
or comfortable.
Using the Front Shier
Note: Not all models have a front shier. The front (le) shier
will have an indicator that reads either low to high or a series of
numbers from 1 and up. Low or “1” is the lowest gear. The front
shier acts much like the rear shier, but the change between
gears is greater. This means that one shi at the rear derailleur
will be a subtle change in pedaling speed, but one shi at the
front derailleur will be a large change in pedaling speed. Think of
the front shier as a range; low and high or low, medium, and
high. Low is used for slower riding, hill climbing, or to allow for
easier pedaling. It is recommended to start o in this gear and
move through the gears as speed increases as needed, or
comfortable.
To Use the Trigger-style Shier
Rear shier: Use your index nger to shi up to a higher gear,
and your thumb to shi down to lower gear.
Le shier: Use your index nger to shi down to a lower gear,
and your thumb to shi up to higher gear. Figure 5.3
To Use the Twist-style Shier
Turn the area of the handlebar grip closest to the gear numbers
to the desired gear level. Figure 5.4
