How To Use Road Bike Shifters | Change Gear On Your Road Bike

[@gamerN77]

I don't see why people are so upset about the fact that there's a video on basic things. I for one, who has just bought his first road bike, don't mind being explained basic tasks before learning about more advanced things and seeing the differences across brands. Nice video!

[@TimothyFish]

I agree. When I bought my first road bike, it wasn't immediately obvious how to shift gears. I mean, who would think that the way to shift gears was to push the brake to the side? And yet, that's how it worked.

[@OnyxProducts]

Possibly the negative sentiment comes from it feeling like a rehash of older videos (which GCN does so often). Still a good video, educational to new riders!

[@Liofa73]

Why are you talking about yourself in quasi-3rd person? Keep it simple... "I've just bought my first road bike and I don't mind these basic videos".

[@Liofa73]

+Timothy Fish You just click a gear and watch how the derailleurs move.

[@TimothyFish]

Liofa If you aren't aware that the brake lever is suppose to move, "just click a gear" has no meaning.

[@Will-hi9iy]

I for one found this video useful, I'm new to road biking in general. I don't understand how people find cause for complain..., if you don't need any advice on gear shifting, don't click on a video titled How To Use Road Bike Shifters and then complain when it's basic/novice information.

[@noecazares2144]

People that think they have it all together usually talk down on people. They are arrogant and probably would not help anyone out. God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble.

[@timothybradek3560]

Amen!

[@GSNCLN]

New here as well and I also appreciate these videos.

[@TrustEmily]

Super grateful this video exists!! Been so confused by my gears after inheriting a second hand road bike

[@Guzmanazo]

Well, thanks for the video! Having ridden mountain bikes for more than 25 years, I bought my first road bike this year, and proudly rode out of my LBS...only to find that I didn't know how to use STi levers! Being a proud alpha-male, I didn't go back to the shop to ask, but rode to a hidden back alley where I spend the next 30 min figuring out how to change gears.... lesson learnt...

[@gcn]

+Efrain Guzman we had no idea how to do a KZbin when we started. 3 years later, we're down the same alley as you, figuring it all out. Maybe we should ask! Glad you got it figured out Efrain.

[@muttleygutierrez108]

I have to say, coming from a running background for my entire life, I decided to get into cycling (even though I have always followed and loved cycling) and went to my LBS and the guys set up a quick fit and off I went BUT, it was because of watching GCN that I had at least an understanding from a previous video. Funny how most LBS' will not explain something like that! LOL!!! So tough I was a complete 'nube', I was able to act like I knew what I was doing...

[@V8_screw_electric_cars]

Can't blame you cause they're idiotic design, buy Campagnolo

[@V8_screw_electric_cars]

Well when I got my bike it had downtube shifters and took me 0 seconds lol I enjoy shifting 4 at a time up and down as I please don't want sti's to click thru each gear one at a time, sometimes when pulling out of side road there's no time for this because there's traffic and you have to accelerate quick to get out of the way…

[@Mathuna1]

Too true 👍 😂😂😂

[@flyingiosandroid]

What's with all the hate for this video? All the long time cyclists asking whether this is a joke or not don't seem to realise that videos like these are essential for people new to the sport. I for one work in a cycle shop, and the number of people that will come back saying their gears aren't working not understanding how to use them properly is very high. Just because you've been riding for 10 years and know everything about a bike doesn't mean that this video is a 'joke'.

[@JustOneRedSoloCup]

Precisely. And it's that elitist-snob attitude that gives the rest of the enthusiast, "normal" cycling world a bad name. The greatest contribution to the cycling community is to be helpful, informative, and supportive to show that this is a shared love of the road and trail for those of us fortunate to have experienced the best of what two or three wheels beneath them have to offer.

[@mrtoad1408]

Some people love to remind everyone how much they know about a subject in comparison to others. I pity how sad they are.

[@bitflip8191]

Ha, I actually needed this video a couple of months ago, when I bought my first road bike. I know many will laugh at this video, but in a long run, this will help a lot of people.

[@LiamStroudy09]

Yeah I currently have no idea what I'm doing with my hands. :'D It's a lot easier having a visual reference to know what gear/range you're in imo.

[@joelstinton14]

Just like to say as someone who been riding for just over a year, GCN videos have been invaluable to me. Learnt so much. Thanks for the good work GCN.

[@PaulAllenL0ST0NE]

I see there are a lot of cycling elitist snobs on here. The comments section is full of people why it is so hard to get new people on bikes now day. I have a tri bike with bar end shifters and thought about buying a true road bike and this type of info is very helpful. I am so glad that most of you guys were born with this knowledge and never had to learn it.

[@londyswagg8606]

Really good video I found it very helpful I am getting a STI tomorrow so now I know how to use the gears THANKS SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@kj-marslander]

@@londyswagg8606 but why did you comment that as a reply to this random dude?

[@JonProce]

I'm a mountain biker who bought a CX bike this year to help improve my fitness and endurance. I managed to figure it out but this video would have been very relevant to me at the time. We live in different worlds; this concept was completely foreign to me.

[@SmevMev]

Yep, came from mtb too and the first time I saw the GCN guys shift by pushing the brake lever was a total wtf moment :s

[@chaosbreaker657]

I have a friend with a road bike, and I with a mountain bike. We swapped bikes for a day. Shifting gears on a road bike was totally different for me, since I'm so used to shifting gears on a mountain bike.

[@IGotsBadFeeling]

Attention everyone who already know how to shift: THIS VIDEO IS NOT MEANT FOR YOU. This is clearly made for newcomers who never rode a roadbike before.

[@testohtoby]

I've been using a standard mtb for my whole 23 years and today I've been gifted a 90s cool Bottecchia with a shifter of this kind. Thanks for the tips

[@josephgonzalez_]

Great video. I used to ride road bikes in the 90s and used the old tube shifters. When I got back into cycling this year I bought a new(ish) bike and discovered that I didn't know how to change the gears - I had to find a YT video to learn how to do it. Don't listen to the predictable sneering from the "are you going to do a video on how to ride a bike" mob. This is genuinely useful for cycling newcomers and returners.

[@cambmw93]

comment section proof as to why most non-cyclists think most cyclists are complete uptight snobs

[@Will-hi9iy]

[@Liofa73]

Most of the snobs are the ones that take cycling too seriously. The strava-ssholes that don't even say "hi" when they ride by (see GCNs other video). The ones using expensive deep dish rims (that probably cost more than their bikes) in high winds and are struggling not to get blown into the hedge every few metres. The amateur racers that think they're pro, with their team kit on for a ride to the shops. The ones that wouldn't even stop for an old granny that's dropped a chain or has a flat... etc.

[@Inthemeanwhile]

Nobody is born knowing how to do anything. It takes confidence to admit you don't know something. Be kind to the new guy, we were the newbie once.

[@benn9918]

@@Liofa73 when those people see me riding my road bike.... with my trackies on and a spliff hanging out my mouth. I know they want me to get hit by a car. Such obviously shit people it's actually funny.

[@philippliskin9196]

Been looking for something like this for days. A million videos about downshifting on climbs, not crossing your chain etc but nothing about shifting back up until now. Thanks Si

[@JoseCastillo-fe3nb]

Thanks for this. While I have been riding for a while I would have loved this when I started out! Please continue to remember that not all who enjoy cycling have years of experience.

[@mrsseasea]

i have watched so many videos on how to use my HANDLE gear shifter......99% of them give a graphic detail of the gear and chain......just thank you so much.......upgraded my bike from a 1980 to 2019. big jump.......was not prepared.....

[@TimothyFish]

While I didn't need to see this video, there are a lot of people who haven't ridden a road bike. Having videos like this may be helpful to them.

[@raymondchandler697]

I DID just buy a new road bike to supplement my classic or vintage 1980's Dawes Road Bike. Was flummoxed by the gear shifting so I came back inside to search for a helpful video. This video was excellent. Thank you very much!

[@juliatyrer-cutts2904]

This video tutorial is super helpful. Bought my bike 4 years ago just before I had an operation. Not used it since and had forgotten how to use the gears. This tutorial made it so simple and easy to remember and with a bit of practice on my first time out I'd got it. Thank you GCN.

[@HenningGu]

Cue me standing in the parking lot watching this and being baffled by the levers on my new gravel bike. The whole lever moves! Never would've thought that 😅

[@GregPolkinghorne]

I also appreciate the basics videos. I only recently got my first road bike and have found this channel precisely because of these simple explainers. The set up of Shimano gears where the left and right shifters are sort of inverse took me a bit of getting used to.

[@marciacousins3959]

I got mine in a right mess and came here for help. Thanks very much...these new bikes seem to be much more complicated.

[@Snifffski]

Thanks for this. Just bought my first bike in 35 years. Nothing beats just jumping on and doing it, but any additional basic-level explanations are really helpful for someone like me.

[@Zalheide]

This is the exact video I needed, I just got a shimano one, and had no clue how to down shift, I really appreciate the very good basic steps video!

[@brianmoore1164]

Bringing the new guys along. Well done Si.

[@kamyaputraiswarapranidhana6568]

I just bought a gravel bike with Sram Groupset. Didn't know how to change the gear so I asked my sister who uses Shimano. Hilarity ensues. This vid helps a lot!

[@Parallellines60]

Great video - thanks for posting these beginner introductions. I’ve just bought my first road bike having only had mountain bikes before. I wanted to make sure I master the basics before getting myself into danger on the road. We all start somewhere!

[@MoreSoNowThanEver]

Nothing beats classic down tube mounted friction shifters. There's a romance to them. I miss my retro-modded 70's Schwinn Super Le Tour so damn much!

[@JosetteBadger]

My lovely sister-in-law just gifted me her road bike, I got it, tuned up and went to ride it home and you literally saved my life. I pulled over and stopped on a hill and learned how to shift, thank you! I have always been a mountain biker, and never even thought to ask how it worked because I stupidly thought things would be obvious . Note by saved my life, I actually mean that you saved me from being embarrassed, and having to walk up the hill that I normally cruise up on my mountain bike!😂

[@peterseddon2643]

The last time I rode a road bike, the gear shifter was on the down frame. When I got a modern bike, I had NO idea how to change gear! Then I found the small levers set into the brake handles and started shifting gears....GREAT! Until I found I was stuck with the hardest setting! I just could not fathom how to change the gear ratio back again! Then I watched your video!!!! Wow! It is so simple now! Thank you so much⁉️ 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@johnaldred6864]

Thanks..I'm an old bugger who didn't have a clue how these modern gears work ...( My 1970s racer had levers on the down tube) ....so this tutorial has set me up for when I get my new wheels.

[@firstanointed]

This video is old, but I just got a road bike and it's basically like learning to ride all over again. So GCN's vids have been super helpful to watch. Thanks for the resource and awesome/succinct/clear tutorials!

[@tonyevans2966]

This was very useful to me, well explained. I've just bought a road bike to help build up strength in my legs after a serious illness. The thought of the gears changing was delaying my purchase. But what a difference these new gear changers make, no more reaching down to manipulate levers on the old bikes. Thanks again for a clear tutorial.

[@WisteriaBerlitz]

I've been into Road Biking for 3 years and seeing how a STI shifter works the first time awed me. This video should have the same effect on people who are getting into Road cycling I'd imagine =)

[@strandkorbst9643]

This helped me today because I rode a sram equipped road bike for the first time today and just couldn't figure out how to shift down. I tried pushing in the break lever to the side but that obviously didn't work so i came over to this Video. Thanks GCN

[@skippygirl959]

I didn't know about the double click! Could not for the life of me figure out how to down shift. Thank you so much for making this

[@PhyzikTalks]

Yeah sorry but everyone here is the reason why non-cyclists are more nervous and anxious when it comes to learning about cycling. Those who don't know can often be scared to ask in fear of a stupid reaction like your comments, people need to learn the basics first, and for christ sake learning Road Bike shifter's is something ANYONE who hasn't ridden a road bike will need to learn, so in my opinion this is one of the MOST essential videos GCN could make. Get off your high horse (or bike in this case).

I ordered from Decathlon, came in less than two days. Best of all, they aren't fussy about returns and warranties and stuff. Told the other store two days ago that I'm cancelling the order, they still haven't replied.

[@tonyalvarez9984]

Experienced MTB, BMX and especially 'Vintage' road cyclist used to riding 'touring' style road bikes with the initial gearing that was discussed during this video and I have recently purchased a hand-built Raleigh from the 1990's which features Shimano gears similar to the one's featured in this video, I was unsure exactly for how use and found that both triggers were unable to adjust the gears and I was worried about snapping the brake lever by pulling to change so I didn't even bother to check! This left me almost thinking I may have been sold a faulty bike as I thought the gears were simple up-and-down levers on one side and the other side for the front crank just one-up one-down, which would make perfect sense, alas, it has much more complicated (for some, not you elite cyclists birthed bursting through the placenta in your replica BSkyB jerseys and riding in pavilion with your tightest latex cyciling pants on) But. I can assure you after riding from Stockport to Macclesfield after collecting the bike and riding half way to Buxton the next day idiotically not realising I couldn't figure out the gears on the bike and basically riding a fixie up very steep gradients in the blistering heat we have experienced and I can say no cyclist passing me riding or looking bemusingly at my deralier and sprocets in the middle-of-nowhere offered to help or offer assistance and I for one, wish, that I had access to the extremely insightful video.. Thanks for enlightening me oh wise oracle.. Oh and just to add my spefic Shimano gear set the '16 speed Shimano flightdeck gear system' is still not featured so in fact there should be more videos showing how to correctly use different manufactureres/components of bikes. Also it shows whether you would prefer a type of manufacturers set-up prior to buying/testing a bike as you can see your hand/finger positions for example to use the gears. SO many narrow-minded self=entitled narscisstic cunts about nowadays.. pip, pip.. tallyhoo!!

[@Guoenyi]

Guys here is an important trick with campag front shifting. When you shift to the big chainring by pushing the lever, make sure you hold it in the pushed position for a second or so to ensure it actually shifts. Use it like a shimano lever and you might find the chain failing to catch onto the big chainring and may even drop the chain for you. I learnt it the hard way.

[@StinkyJim]

Thanks for this. Im a total newbie and this is exactly what I was after.
