Depending on the gear system, gear shifting is initiated by actuating a shift lever, a brake and shift lever unit or by a short turn of the wrist with twist grips. Continue pedalling during gear shifting (a), however, at reduced pedalling force.
Find below the principles of the shift lever types and their operation. It is, however, also possible that your new URBAN JUNGLE bike has a gear system that is not listed below.
With shift levers pressing the large shifter (b) (thumb shifter) normally moves the chain towards the larger chainrings/sprockets.
That means that any gear shift with the right thumb produces a lower gear. This is an indexed shifting system with the option of shifting several gears with one action. Actuating the large thumb shifter on the left produces a higher gear.
Pulling the small lever (c) located in front of the handlebars from the rider’s viewpoint and actuated with the index finger (index finger lever) shifts the chain towards the smaller chainwheels/sprockets, i.e. on the right side to the higher gears and on the left side to the lower gears.
The principle of twist grips (d) is slightly different. Turning the right-hand grip towards you makes for a lower gear ratio, while the same movement on the left produces a higher gear – and vice versa. The shifting direction may vary in this case, as well.
WARNING
Always wear straight-cut trousers or use trouser clips (e) or the like to make sure your trousers do not get caught in the chain or the chainrings. Risk of falling!
Shifting gears under load, i.e. while pedalling hard, can make the chain slip. At the front derailleur the chain may even slip off the chainrings and result in an accident! At least the service life of the chain will be shortened considerably.
