    FINALLY!!! It’s properly explained in a detailed and concise manner with simultaneous videos of the crank and shifters. I just saw three different videos before that took 2-3x longer to explained these tips with only one camera angle. For a noob like me this video cleared up any confusion I had. Thank you!

    I try to remember this way: 1. For shifting. Big levers shift to big cogs and small lever shifts to small cogs. 2. Front cogs: Big/hard/fast and small/easy/slow 3. Rear cogs: Big/easy/slow and small/hard/faster

    hahaha....when I first started riding I went straight from MTB to a Tri-bike. When I first got on a road I realized I had no idea how to shift because I always used the end bar shifters on my Tri-bike. I also didn't want to ask anyone cause I had been riding for a while so I had to come home and watch a video like this

  • @BigFudge87

    I was very confused on how to shift on my roadbike. I somewhere read the advice and found it very helpful: I now use the big ring for flats and downhil until the 3rd biggest cog on the rear. Once it gets too hard to maintain my cadence I switch to the small "Moutain Chainring" on the front. I replaced my front chainring for a 46 and my rear cassette is 11-34. wich gives me all the nice little gear changes in a speedrange, i actually ride (im not a strong rider and not racing at all. just recreational riding). I never saw the sense in having 2/3 of my gears wasted in speeds above 40km/h. When I reach that speed I usually roll down a hill.

    Hey guys. I’m hoping somebody can help me. I get that cross chaining should be avoided at all costs, but my question is can I be in the hardest gear in 1 and the 2nd easiest gear on the other?. So basically just shifting 1 gear before the extreme. Is this safe to do?

    Yep, basically opposites of each other. Big to small or small to big for the cogs the chain sits on which creates a hard angle for your chain.
