64 OWNER’S MANUAL
SHIFTING GEARS
Identify your gear levers from the diagrams.
Mountain / Cross bicycles have handlebar
mounted shifters.
Road bikes use various types of shifters, these
can include Integrated Brake and Gear Levers,
rotating handlebar ‘grip shift’ systems or other
variants. Ask your bicycle retailer to explain the
gear changing procedure. Practice changing
gears to gain condence.
For smooth operation of all types of levers you
must be pedalling forwards when changing gears.
NOTE: Some bicycles have gear levers mounted
on the down tube (see diagram) of the frame.
Using this type of mounting requires practice.
