I know how to actually change the gears and yes i have rode a bike with gears before, but im uncertain as to when i should change them. I am a first time rider as far as riding a road bike. I had a ten speed when I was younger and changed gears....but didnt know why or when i should change them. I'm not such a dork that I dont know how to switch the gearslimerickman said:I don't mean to be facetious but have you never ridden a bike with gears
before ?
I would be glad to explain how to operate the gears but before doing so it would help if I could guage how much (little ???) you know about gears.
As regards when to change gear - that is a little bit more indepth.
let's get the gear operating part out of the way first.
There is a lot of information on Sheldon Brown's website about changing gears. I think you will find his article helpful. Go to the following URL: http://sheldonbrown.com/gears.htmlsilkshaker2304 said:I'm needing some information on how to change gears and when to change gears!
Generally it is all to do with cadence (i.e. how fast your legs go round). Ideally you want to pedal at the same cadence no matter what to conditions.silkshaker2304 said:I'm needing some information on how to change gears and when to change gears!
