How do you switch gears on a fuji bicycle?

Answer 1

Just like any other motorcycle. Push the lever up, you shift up....push the level down, you shift down. The shift lever is located by your left feet. The gears are as follows: 1 - N - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Answer:

That really has very little to do with the brand of the bike, but a lot to do with what make & model of gears you have, and there are plenty to choose from. Check out the link posted below, you should find some help there.

Answer:

From the human standpoint you want to use the gears in a way that lets you turn the crank at about 80-100 turns/minute. From the bike's standpoint it depends on what gear levers you've got and what your drive train looks like. If you have 3 gears in front and 6 at the back you should try avoiding cross-chaining - that is, running the chain on the big sprocket in the front AND the big sprocket at the rear. Small-small is equally bad. If you have 2 at the front and 9 at the rear cross-chaining becomes less of an issue, but not entirely unimportant. When it comes down to the actual handling it's up to what brand of shifters you've got. For 3x6 it might even be friction shifters(small levers stuck either on the frame on the bar)twist them one way to get the chain to a bigger sprocket and the other to get it to drop to a smaller one. For 2x9 it's probably integrated shifter and brake combos. you flick a lever behind the brake lever to get it to change gears. There might either be a smallish knob to drop a gear, or you do that by flicking the switch the other way. Gears will go in easier if you don't push that hard on the pedals while shifting.

Answer 3

Mongoose make several types of bikes, and has done for several years. They've used different systems and manufacturers over that time. W/o knowing which bike you have, or what's on it there's no way of ansering your question in a helpful manner.

I suggest you head over to the site listed in the Related Links and read up on some basics. Or come back here and post the exact name of your bike or a better description of what's on it.

Answer 4

Depends on what type, and brand of gears they are, and if you're talking about replacing the gear system, or if you're talking about how to use the gears.

I'll post a few links where you can read up on how different gears work.

Answer 5

First rule is to maintain a steady cadence(i.e.revs-per-minute on the pedals). General recommendations is that one of your feet should pass through the bottom of the pedal stroke 70-100 times each minute. Pedalling faster isn't particularly dangerous, but difficult and not very effective. Pedalling slower will increase the load on your knees, which in turn increases the risk of injury.

Second rule is to keep the chain straight(avoid cross chaining). More important if you hav 3 sprockets to choose from at the front than if you've only got two, but always worth considering. Running the chain at opposite ends of the sprockets (big-big, or small-small) will put a significant bend on the chain which apart from wearing the chain out faster also will add a few percent of extra friction.

3rd rule would be that bigger sprockets are better. The smaller the sprocket the bigger the losses, so switching to a bigger front sprocket rather than dropping to a smaller rear sprocket will be better in terms of efficiency by a few percent.

Answer 6

One gear at a time Use the clutch, push up or down on the foot shift lever.
