wow you helped so much!!! been trying to figure out how to do the left one

i always want quick upshift and downshift when terrain is unpredictable or when sudden climb and descend. can i remove in-between cogs say i just want to use smallest, mid and largest cog? that way the degree of sway will be minimal but i'm not that worry about cross-chaining, it's I seldom use in between cogs increments

Hi I am new at bicycling do I need to be moving fast to change gear?

So it means that when you shift it always in the back? im a beginner.

Thank you for the useful tips.

Is it normal to ride on your highest gear on flat surface because thats what i do

Maybe you should consider one of those so called ''granny gears'' so you don't look like 0:04 when you climb.

This was such an awesome training!! I'm a beginner and I've watched a few videos that didn't really do a great job of explaining things. You did a great job. Thank you! I'm sure I can figure this out now, without worrying about breaking my chain! :)

awesome vid with an awesome explanation! thank you!

Is there any way I can adjust the gears so it's easier to change? I have to twist so hard it ruins my skin... Any tips???

Best tutorial

okay but my right side shifter won't move no matter what so what do I do?

you r best

Great explanation of crosschaining, I was confused as a newbie before I seen this video.

Awesome thank you for the tips....just purchased my first tri bike and this information is very useful and adds confidence on the what to and what not to dos.

Is this pretty much universal to all bikes with gears? Right shifter controls the rear gears and left controls the front?

What's the best way to switch from low to high gears on the front? Mine keeps clanking and it takes forever if ever.

Thank you. Answered all my questions.

the best video on the Internet to understand shifting

my chain is not shifting to the 7th gear which is the smallest cog. In the shifter it shows that it's on the 7th gear but actually, the chain will be on the 6th cog which is the second smallest cog. Same thing happens with the 5th gear. please give a solution.
