Thank you so much! As someone who mountain biked first going to a road bike I kinda knew about gears but the on the hood shifting confused me
-
thanks it really helped alot!

Can't imagine going into a bike shop as a new cyclist and buying your first road bike and they let you get out of the shop without explaining how to operate the drive train and components and to do at least a basic bike fit. Not a very good shop if they don't educate you in these basic things. Of course it's up to the consumer to speak up if you don't understand something. You misspoke one little time in the first Sram segment when you said to peddle easier you push the lever one time. A great instruction video, i liked it.

Thanks. That could've been embarrassing for me.

Very informative! Thank you!
-
Thanks for the video. I just bought my first road bike yesterday, and I have spent the first day just getting used to shifting.
-
What's your opinion on the new Shimano STI Triple Crank Drivetrain? Thinking about buying a Motobecane and that"s the gears it comes with.

I love the Keg on the Shelf!! Seriously - thank you for the video. Looking to buy a new bike w/ the new Shimano shifting mechanism and looking forward to this new way of shifting.

Very Good Teacher...

EXCELLENT!
MASSIVE THUMBS UP! -
Thank you, for saving me from the embarrassment from going into the local bike shop. I rode my very first road bike (2001 Cannnodale R400 triple) yesterday, and I turn 60 next month.
The last time I did any real riding was in the early 70's on a Schwinn Continental: to high school, just about every day, and to work, after school, then home. It was nothing like the ride I took yesterday, on the triple.
Could not figure out for the life of me, how to shift back up.
Helmet for sure, with this bike.... remember, I'm a newbie, and an old fart. -
Wow, Thanks so much for your video. I bought a used Specialized road bike on Ebay and set off to ride this morning and just made a mess! I fell down in the street trying figure out how to shift the darn gears and thinking I had just bought a busted bike.
I watched video and just had great ride. Thanks for taking the time to share your expertise. -
THANK YOU <3 <3 <3 I just got my first bike, and i felt even more noob because I couldnt figure out the gear!
-
Thanks alot! Was having trouble with my gears
-
cheers buddy for the video. I've had trouble with the shimano gears but after watching this it'd become easier.
