Gears - and how to shift gears - is a constant focus of innovation in the cycling industry. Through the years, things have come on a long way to where we are now with wide range, 1x, wireless, electronic drivetrains. While modern drivetrains offer many advantages, if they're not set up correctly, not maintained correctly, or you're not sure how to use them correctly, they can be incredibly frustrating! If you're suffering from some drivetrain woes, or just want to up your shifting game, let Rich help guide you through how to shift like a pro. ⏱ Timestamps ⏱ 0:00 - Intro 0:26 - Cleaned and lubed drivetrain 1:15 - Correctly indexed gears 2:54 - When to shift gears 4:14 - How to shift gears Useful Links: Watch The UCI MTB World Series Elite Racing On GCN 👉 Racing Highlights & More On GMBN Racing 👉 Watch Shorts on GMBN 👉 Shop the latest GMBN Jerseys! 👉 Ride with us at the Global Bike Festival 👉 Submit your Photo and Video to us 👉 Sign-up to our newsletter 👉 Which gear system do you use?
