4.7 General information
4.7.1 Gears
On bikes with several gears a distinction is made between
• Derailleur gear, recognisable from the sprocket assembly on the rear wheel hub and a pedal
assembly with several chainwheels, or
• Hub gear, recognisable from a “fat” rear wheel hub.
These gear assemblies provide you with the optimum gear for every speed and simplify, for
example, the climbing of hills.
The number of gears is determined as follows:
• Derailleur gear: Number of chainwheels at the front multiplied by the number of sprockets at
the rear, e.g.: 3 chainwheels x 9 sprockets = 27 gears.
• Hub gear: The number of gears corresponds to the highest number on the gear shift indicator.
