Gears
Shimano Nexus 7 with 7 gears
The Shimano Nexus 7 is a hub gear with 7 gears.
Shifting is easily done by turning the gripshifter at the
grip on the right side. You can always shift, even in
stand. In the display of the gripshifter you can see the
current gear.
Fine tuning Shimano Nexus 7
To fine-tune the hub gears you can put it in 4th gear.
Turn the pedals backwards a few times. Check whether
the 2 lines at the bottom of the rear cassette are
aligned. Adjust the cable tension by turning the cable
adjustmentscrew attached to the gripshifter untill the
desired result is achieved.
*
Attention!
Decrease the force on the pedals while
shifting for smooth shifting and a prolonged lifetime of
the hub. The gear shift sensor controls that the motor
will provide no power at the moment that you are
shifting.
NuVinci N360 with fluent gears (360%)
The NuVinci N360 is a maintance free hub gear that
shifts fluently from the lowest to the highest gear, with
a large gear range of 360%. Shifting will be smooth even
under heavy load.
Controlling it is easily done by turning the gripshifter
at the grip on the rightside. You can always shift, even
in standstill. (However, pedalling during shifting makes
it a bit lighter, and you can only shift between the
entire gear range when pedalling). In the display of the
gripshifter you can see the current gear ratio.
