Try not to cross over too much. The biggest gears on front and back, or smallest on each e.g. 3 and 1, or 1 and 7/8 will run rough compared to other combinations. You will find similar ratios that run more smoothly than these using the 2nd middle cog on the front (e.g. 2 and 4 or 5) if you have 3 chainrings on the front.

Hi, and thanks for your question! It's great that you're curious about the mechanics of wheel gears. No, you don't have to keep both wheel gears at the same speed or use the same gear numbers. Bikes are designed so you can mix and match front and rear gears to suit different terrains. It's like having a toolbox of options for how easy or hard it is to pedal. Feel free to experiment and find what works best for you. Change gears based on whether you're on a flat road, going uphill, or cruising downhill. The gears are there to make your ride more enjoyable, so use them however feels right for you.🙂

Hi, apologies for not getting back to you sooner! You’ve probably got the answer now, but I hope you don’t mind me answering anyway. In general, on a mountain bike, a lower number on the front and rear gears means easier pedaling (better for climbing), while a higher number means harder pedaling but faster speeds on flat terrain. So, if you're looking for speed, you'll want to shift to the higher numbers! Enjoy your new MTB!

so with a twist shifter, is there a need for the gears in the front AND the back to always be the same? or can they be different on each side? and how does changing the front and back respectively affect cycling?
@cyclemaintenanceacademy

Hi, thank you for your question and sorry for not getting back to you sooner. the gears in the front and back don’t necessarily have to be the same. You can have different gear ratios on each side, and this setup can actually provide you with a range of options for varying terrains. Changing the front gears affects the overall gearing ratio, giving you different levels of resistance. The back gears primarily impact how easily you can pedal at different speeds. Essentially, having a combination of different gears allows you to optimise your cycling experience based on the terrain and your riding style. If you have more questions or need further clarification, feel free to ask

Great video and easy to understand. Just got back into cycling after decades away. The only thing I find hard to understand is there a term called cross chaining in that each front gear can only use a certain part of rear cassette to avoid over tension of chain.
@cyclemaintenanceacademy
Жыл бұрын
Hi, thanks for the comment. It's an interesting topic and there's a lot of conflicting information on the web. So, cross chaining is a term used to describe the situation when a bicycle chain is positioned at an extreme angle, either in the largest chainring and largest cog or smallest chainring and smallest cog. This causes the chain to run diagonally across the cassette and derailleur pulleys, which can result in increased friction, noise, and accelerated wear on the chain and drivetrain components. To avoid cross chaining try these tips: - shift gears correctly: Pay attention to your gear selection when riding. When shifting gears, try to avoid using the largest chainring with the largest cog or the smallest chainring with the smallest cog. Instead, try to use a gear combination that allows the chain to run straighter and more parallel to the cassette and derailleur pulleys. - Anticipate terrain changes: As you approach hills or other changes in terrain, shift to a gear combination that allows you to maintain a steady cadence without cross chaining. This may require shifting to a smaller chainring and a larger cog or vice versa. I hope this helps. Would you like us to make a video about cross chaining?

Because if I'm in the top gear of the rear cogs and I want to go up a little bit, I can't, I have to either go straight into a much heavier gear, or drop the rear gears back few before changing the front one. What's the proper way to cycle all the way through the gears?
@cyclemaintenanceacademy
8 ай бұрын
Hi, and thanks for your question.Bikes with front gears typically have two or three chainrings at the front. The larger chainring provides harder or "higher" gears, while the smaller chainring offers easier or "lower" gears. Choose the appropriate chainring based on the terrain. Use the larger chainring for flat or downhill sections when you want to pedal more efficiently. Switch to the smaller chainring for uphill or challenging terrain to make pedaling easier. Anticipate upcoming changes in terrain or your riding speed. Shift the front gears before you reach a steep hill or a fast descent. This prevents sudden and jarring shifts in resistance. Coordinate your front gear changes with adjustments to the rear gears. For example, when shifting to a larger chainring at the front, consider shifting to a smaller cog at the rear to maintain a consistent pedaling cadence. Spend some time practicing in a safe environment to get a feel for how different gear combinations affect your ride. Experiment with the gears to find the combinations that work best for your comfort and riding style.Keep in mind that getting the hang of using the front gears might take a bit of practice. The key is to understand how they work together with the rear gears to make your bike ride smoother. Don't be afraid to try different gear combinations and tweak things based on the terrain and what feels comfortable for you. If you have any questions or run into specific situations, feel free to ask for more help!

Hi, and thank you for your question. It is good practice to operate both gear shifters to shift into easier gear for climbing. While the front gears provide a larger difference in ratio compared to the rear gears, it's not always necessary to shift the rear gears to the lowest gear. The necessity of this depends on the incline of the climb you're facing; the steeper the climb, the more advantageous it is to use lower gears. I hope this helps.🙂

We as kids in tje fifties didn't have KZitem- we're on a farm 50 miles from nearest town. If the bike chosen for you showed up, with no idea what did what - You simply turned it upside down - and simply watch everything that moves by pedaling by hand a constant slow Speed at pedals, now shift it while watching the Speed of wheel increase or slow by what gear was chosen. Keep eyes focused on rear gears - Move the shifter all the way to number 1 and watch chain move to that gear and see that chain is now on the largest gear... Now skip all through the gears to highest number - still moving pedals - never stop pedaling by hand during this learning step. Now shifter at highest gear - Notice how much faster wheel spins, but you didn't pedal faster. This is what gear you would have selected if slightly down hill - and takes no effort to pedal. But if the road starts to go up hill, it will now be very much harder to pedal in that high gear, you'll be forced to move shifter to a smaller number and if still to much work, hit the shifter again and again till its easy to pedal. It the hill is so steep, that it's hard to walk up, that first gear is now top high, and now you'll need to use the other shifter to move the chain to the next smaller sprocket, and now the rear sprockets get used again 1_6 only much slower speed but more power - no different than heavy load for truck to make the hill, where they too have to select a lower gear slower speed but much more power - even though engine speed stays near the same speed. Just like the speed your legs move is the engine speed - your pedal speed doesnt change that much, but the bike either goes faster with little effort, or slower up hill with same leg power and pedal speed. To simplify- If your legs can no longer provide enough power to get up the hill - too high a gear, you need to quickly select a lower gear that you can now pedal easy, but will be slower speed getting to top of hill, and as soon as it's possible, with now a level road again, move shifter again through higher gears that your leg power is happy with and gaining speed easily. Keep a finger or two over Rear brake lever at all times at higher speed to keep speed in control when turn is coming up, whether it's coming to a ramped curbing to a sidewalk approaching a store front you want to stop at. Don't worry about what gear it's in while stopping at a store, as soon as packed up ready to roll, you'll be shifting what's needed to enter tje street... And number one rule - Alway face traffic head on with bright headlight so traffic always see you Two famous hockey players were just killed on their bikes last week - we're run down from behind, leaving them no choice to defend them selves vs Watching traffic head on, you can see possible threat, and escape further away, into shoulder or ditch, and if if makes you crash - That's OK, You're Still Alive. If you don't have lights on your bike, never ride it around traffic, stand in front of it with head light on,,, Does it make you take notice,, if not, Get a better light. I was appointed safety officer for the United States Airforce in 1972'. No one was allowed to operate a bicycle or motorcycle in bad condition or unsafe manner. So parents- better make darn sure kids always have a safe fun time on their bikes. You are the only one, that matters when they leave the yard. Take them out to the bike - flip it upside down and you both go through all the steps to make their brains fully understand how simple machines work. When you both are on the same page, life just became much simpler and safer. Cheers and oli those chains. If I come by and see your chain rusty... that simply says, you really don’t care. Just leave the bike lay on the ground like stepped on Coke can trash. I'm working on one of them right now.

On flat roads I usually find 5 or 6 (R) and 2 on left, comfortable. However Im not sure what ratio should be, when cycling uphill. Should BOTH sides/gears be in lowest, i.e. 1-1? And more importantly, do I change to lowest before I reach the incline or gradually change down? Sorry for all the questions.😢

@cyclemaintenanceacademy
8 сағат бұрын
Hi! I'm so sorry for not responding sooner, I truly appreciate your patience. To answer your question about the gear shifter, here's a quick breakdown of its anatomy: The gear shifter, or shift lever, is the mechanism that allows you to change gears on your bike. It consists of several key components: Shift Lever: This is the part you manually push or pull to change gears. Gear Cable: When you move the lever, the cable pulls or releases tension, adjusting the derailleur. Indexing Mechanism: Inside the shifter, there's an indexing system that ensures precise shifts between each gear. Spring Mechanism: This helps reset the lever after you shift, keeping the system smooth. In the meantime I will put your request in my to do list. Let me know if you have any more questions, and thanks again for your understanding!

Sorry I'm still a bit confused. Do you change the front and back gears independently of each other or both together?.
@lakshmikarthikmaram4458
Жыл бұрын
Hey! you can change the front and back gears independently of each other. They dont need to be changed simultaneously. For example, if your bike has 3 gears in the front and 7 in the back, you can make 7*3 = 21 combinations out of them! Ps it is just based on what combinations of gears suit you the most on different surfaces/conditions.

Hey Jim, thanks for your question, and apologies for not getting back to you sooner. Just like the other viewer said you can use your left and right gears separately. The front gears are responsible for making significant changes in your gear ratio and are used less often. The larger chainrings provide higher gears, which are suitable for faster riding on flat terrain or downhill. The smaller chainrings offer lower gears, which are helpful for climbing steep hills or riding in challenging conditions. The rear gears provide finer adjustments to your gear ratio and are used more often. The smaller cogs on the rear cassette provide higher gears (you go faster but the pedaling feels harder), while the larger cogs offer lower gears. I hope this helps and if you have any more questions or need more advice please get in touch (I promise I'll reply much quicker next time🙂).

That was very interesting all the new gear levers that you showed the Twister shifter I bought them but I've never heard I haven't used them yet so I don't know much I don't know anything about him it seems like it seems like the easiest shifter that you showed a while ago the twist shift I think that's the right name I've never used them either but it seems like they more easier than all of them I found your video very helpful because you said there's a lot of things you said a lot of things on there that I didn't know about I've never heard of these ones before but I did buy the trigger shifter but it's coming from China so I probably won't get it until febuary I enjoyed your video very much thank you

I have a Enviolo CVT on my ebike, which uses a twist mechanism to change gears but its twist forwards to change down a gear and twist towards to change up. Took little time to get used to but I get confused when the head unit tells me to change up and down. Also a big benefit is that I can change down a gear when at a stop. Brilliant in urban settings at junctions and traffic lights.🚦

Hi, I will be riding on mostly flat surfaces as using for commute to shops etc, when shifting on grip shift twist handle gears should you shift the right side first or the left side first? Right hand is for rear gears and left hand for front gears? I have an Apollo Phase bike with 18 Shimano Tourney Revoshift. Sorry if I'm being dumb here but new to riding a bike in many years! Thanks for a great video ❤❤😊😊

Hey there! First of all, apologies for not getting back to you sooner but I've been resting on my well-deserved holidays. You're not being dumb at all - questions are totally welcome, and I'm here to help! 😊 You're absolutely right! When using a grip shift the right hand controls the rear gears (those at the back), and the left hand is in charge of the front gears (those near the pedals). So, when you want to pedal with less effort, shift the rear gears with your right hand first. When you encounter steeper inclines or need more power, the front gears can be shifted with your left hand. It might take a little practice to get used to it, but you'll get there in no time! Keep riding and enjoying your commute to the shops and beyond! 🚲❤️ Happy cycling! 😊

I’m enjoying the bike so far kzitem.infoUgkxMesz3KOGEmwmvyKQfLfrRSUXLFzfVHZA My only real complaints are the brakes and the pedals. I feel like a bike designed for bigger people should have much larger pedals and more heavy duty brakes. I’ve only gotten two really good rides out of it, minimal downhill action, and the brakes feel like they’re already going out. A larger person has more momentum, so I think this wasn’t thought through very well. Also, I wear size 13-14 wide shoes. My feet cramp up on these pedals that are clearly made for smaller feet. Since I’m not a pro rider (and I don’t think many are who purchase this bike) I don’t think that the straps on the pedal are necessary at all. None of this takes away from the enjoyment I get from riding, however. I’ll just head to a bike shop to improve on a few things.

While shifting you should only pedal lightly or slowly enough not to engage the back wheel. Pushing hard on the pedals while shifting will cause wear and noises, especially on the front gears.

Hi, and thanks for your comment. It's a realy good one. It would be fantastic if there were a universal gear that suited everyone, but unfortunately, that's not the case. Gears are designed to help you discover the most comfortable ratio for various terrains. My suggestion is to cycle through the gears and find the one that feels most comfortable for you. I hope this helps.
