FAQs
How do I choose the right bike gears for my bike?
It depends on what you will use the bike for, how far you usually ride and what terrain you ride on. External gears typically offer more gearing options than individual gears, and offer easy-to-change gears ideal for commuting and urban cycling. Flat terrain like urban environments doesn’t require as many gears as more complex, hilly terrain.
What is the difference between the different bicycle gear systems?
Internal gears are perfect for those who want a simple, easy-to-ride bike that requires minimal maintenance. External gears are ideal for those who want to ride at higher speeds with more gearing options.
How do I replace bicycle gears on my bike?
On bikes with internal gears, you shift gears by stopping pedalling or pedalling softer. On bikes with external gears, you shift gears while pedalling. This is because the front and rear sprockets work together and bind the chain and gears together.
