Shift gears by turning the
rotating grip.

B R A K I N G
On long and steep downhill roads,
simultaneously use rear and front
brakes to avoid heating up of the
brakes.
Excessive heating of the hub
with the back pedal brake
may result in loss of lubricant and
braking too hard. This will lead to a
trip to the repair shop.
Read the applicable user
manual for each bicycle
equipped with i-BRAKE or band
brakes.
