Using the Rear Shier
The rear shier (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 Shier
Note: Not all models have a front shier. The front (le) shier
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
shier acts much like the rear shier, 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 shier 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 Shier
Rear shier: Use your index nger to shi up to a higher gear,
and your thumb to shi down to lower gear.
Le shier: 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 Shier
Turn the area of the handlebar grip closest to the gear numbers
to the desired gear level. Figure 5.4
