Recommended Chainwheel/Rear Sprocket Gear Combinations
Some bicycles are now being equipped with a shifting
mechanism called Grip Shift, which is built into the handlebar grips
and does not make use of separate levers. The actuating mechanism
is built into the inside part of the grip that the web of the thumb and
index finger closes around. To select a lower gear, twist the right
shifter toward you to engage a larger rear cog. You can shift one gear
at a time by moving the Grip Shift one click, or through multiple gears
by continued twisting. By twisting the left shifter forward or away from
you, a smaller chainwheel can be selected. To select a higher gear,
twist the right shifter forward or away from you to engage a smaller
rear cog. To engage a larger front chainwheel, twist the left shifter
towards you. Single shifts can be achieved by twisting one click at a
time and multiple shifts by larger twists.
