Nothing like Dura ace on a beginner bike

[alainbellemare]

I love the way she say ´´ sprockets ´´

[bubblesezblonde]

❤❤❤thanks for the vid❤❤❤ saves time explaining to noobs how it works.

[satyrisque]

Now I understand! And these funny levers attached to the chainrings must be cranked with the feet?

[thegoldenfox]

Be a chad, use the heaviest gear all the time

[knifesharpeningnorway]

And one of the most important things isnt mentioned. Dont pedal hard when shifting. Let up a little or a good bit up on the power when changing gears also regularly and i mean often cleaning saves a lot of maintenance cost. Also get a adjustment of the gears after a little while since the cables stretch...

[Nessunego]

Am I the oy one that uses the smallest sprockets on the cassette just pedalling downhill?

[mattsheets]

BETWEEN 2 and 3 chainrings? I don’t know many people riding with 2.73 chainrings.

[jacobbillman]

How do you get trade the sprockets dor a different selection of gears?

[TheMegaAsh]

So on a level road you should have your rear gear in on a smaller gear and front gear on a bigger gear but going uphill you should do the opposite and have you rear gear on the bigger gear and your front on the smaller gear? I haven't ridden a bike in around 15yrs and the last bike I had only had the rear gears but I picked up one that has both front and rear and I have no clue what the front gears are for or how to use them!

[DINESHKUMAR-mufs]

Which gear is normal?

For normal ride 1 gear?

[MarkWheeler]

Do you move the pedals forward when shifting, or backwards or not at all? I have a 7 speed and I always feel like the chin is going to fly off

[Paksusuoli]

Mine has 7 gears in the back. Did one fall off? Where can I have a replacement 8th gear installed?

[Diestarlyt]

I thought you were Emily vancamp for a second

[stmy]

How do you know which gear you are in?

[chilly]

ain’t no way someone gonna have a 12 speed and not know this stuff 😂

[nebulous]

instructions unclear. accidentally fitted a vhs casette to my bike. :D

[PlxsmaFN]

"8-12" you say i have 7 😭😭😭😭

[Gabriel-zonr]

Where's the answer of the question, how to use it?

[mustafaqadir]

This is the most confusing instructional video ever why are we switching between two people?
