on the rotary shifter cover indicates the selected gear.
you can shift through several gears with one movement (e.g. from 06 to 02).
you can shift at a standstill or with the crank rotating backwards and this protects
the gearbox.
downshifting (12–11–10– … –01) under load is possible to a limited extent.
the shifting operation is not executed if the pressure on the crank or pedal is too high.
a mechanism in the gearbox allows upshifts (01–02– … –12) under load. this is
possible during all gear shifts, except when shifting between each of the sub-units. at these points
the pressure on the pedal must be momentarily released.

Occasionally it can happen that your crank "drops" by about 10° after a shifting oper-
ation, you feel a short jolt caused when a gear is not engaged directly until the pawl has engaged in
the next tooth. this phenomenon cannot be eliminated, but it does not lead to damage to the gearbox.
