Using Yeti bicycles for beginners
Yeti bicycles are not just for sports enthusiasts but for everyone to use to serve their own needs and preferences. If you've never ridden a Yeti bicycle before, follow the sharing below to learn how to use it.
Left/right handlebars
Typically, the shifters are arranged on the handlebars of bicycles, serving the function of controlling the gears. Shifters consist of left and right shifters, each holding a specific function:
- The left shifter is responsible for shifting the chain between gears.
- The right shifter is responsible for shifting the chain onto different cogs of the cassette.
Adjusting between gears and between cogs directly affects your pedaling force, making it easier for you to ascend, descend, or control your speed.
Determining gear ratios
On each shifter on mountain bikes, there is a display of gear ratios so users can operate the bike more flexibly, while maximizing pedal speed when in use.
Shifting gears
For the left shifter to switch gears (left hand). You push the large lever to upshift, and the small lever to downshift. When doing so, you need to simultaneously press the shifter while pedaling, avoiding shifting without pedaling.
For the shifter to adjust the cassette, push the large lever while pedaling and simultaneously pull to upshift and the small lever to downshift. Adjusting the cassette creates propulsion, enabling the bike to move easily when ascending or descending slopes.
