brakes damn near perfect bro. how do i shift like you were saying earlier? if you got tips too @Beach_kneega lmk. regardless, we in this b****

You can get that rust off the chrome with aluminum foil. Some wd-40 and it comes right off

✍🏾 thank you for contributing bro, doing this soon

Me too

When I make a thread requesting a video tutorial on how to wipe my ass properly, y'all better be this helpful

i thought you did already when you said you moved them and the chain moved, so do what you did before but while pedaling

or do you mean like where do i put my hands while shifting ?

Left shifter usually adjusts the front derailleur to pedal easier on massive terrain changes like the incline you just faced. The right shifter moves the chain on the smaller cogs and is usually for tweaking during slight terrain changes or whatever effort level that feels good when you're cycling. It's for fine tuning basically.

You can use both shifters to find the gear that feels best for you. Just remember that the chain performs optimally when it is in a straight line so be mindful of your gear shifts.

just play around with em while pedalling on some flat ground, i haven't ridden a bike like that in a long ass time, you'll figure out instinctively, what moving the shifters (those little levers) each way moves em to what gear @op

yeah was gonna mention cross-chaining, (when the chain goes diagonally @op) but idk if the bike even has enough gears for that to be an issue

@Mozumozu gonna come in here later and school us all i'm sure lol

actually he's probably going to tell you to make it a fixie

damn, okay, this is detailed and i really appreciate that bro. just screenshotted both ya’ll responses and will be referencing it often. I really appreciate it dawg, you got no idea. this s*** riding so smooth now

I meant more hand placements but i think ya’ll both covered all the bases until buddy you said responds
ya’ll goated for the details man, thank you!

Yeah cross chaining will wear it out (to my knowledge)

Watch this

Understanding the function of bike gears and gear shifters unlocks immense potential in your bike

thank you dawg about to hit this 8 mile ride to the gym and back and will be peeping this video beforehand. I appreciate you!

U stealin bikes smh

Maan if u dont take ya s***ty drawls havin ass somewhere else

Help me if you're so good at it I'm wiping and wiping until it bleeds

Brehhh what

ight so I’ve been practicing on uphill, downhill, and flat land and I think I understand it now

when you hit a hill, shift the left gear and it moves the front chain on to the smaller socket, then shift the right gear while still pedaling and it moves the back of the chain on to a larger socket
i just hit this hill, bike started getting jittery, shifted the left one then shifted the right one and the bike went right into smooth mode for the hill, reached flat land, shifted the left and then shifted the right and the bike went back to a more firm chain on the flat land

my niggas @Beach_kneega @p_p just needed to updated ya’ll…we are biking thanks to your advices

Real asf

@Beach_kneega @p_p two of the realest on here

Ktt needs a post of pic of your bike thread, did not realize anyone else here rode
