Gears, drivetrain and cables FAQs
How to change gear while cycling
In order to shift gears when cycling, shift the shifters on the handlebars. The left shifter usually shifts the front gears (chainrings) and the right shifter shifts the rear gears (cassette). Shift down to a lower gear (smallest chainring or largest rear cog) for climbing or easy pedaling. Use higher gears (largest chainring or smallest rear cog) for flat or downhill speeding. Always relieve some pressure from the pedals during shifting to provide smooth gear transitions and reduce drivetrain wear.
How often should I clean a bike drivetrain?
Clean your bike drivetrain every 100–200 miles, or more frequently if you ride in rainy, muddy, or dusty conditions. A clean drivetrain smooths shifting, is longer lasting on components, and improves efficiency. Degrease the chain, cassette, and derailleurs, and once dry, apply a suitable lubricant.
