Changing to a higher gear
As you accelerate and gain speed it will become necessary to
change to a higher gear in order to keep going faster. Gradually
switch up through the gears until you reach your desired cruising
speed while maintaining a comfortable pedaling cadence.
To change to a higher gear in small increments use the rear
derailleur (index finger shift lever, right hand side)
To change to a higher gear in large increments use the front
derailleur (thumb shift lever, right hand side)*
Changing to a lower gear
As you slow down, pedal into a headwind, or when pedaling uphill,
it will become necessary to change to a lower (easier) gear in order
to maintain a comfortable pedaling cadence without over-exerting.
To change to a lower (easier) gear in small increments use the rear
derailleur (thumb shift lever, right hand side)
To change to a lower (easier) gear in large increments use the front
derailleur (index finger shift lever, left hand side)*
* Not applicable on 9-speed model with only 1 front sprocket
