[ukgene]

Thanks I got a new bike and this help me understand why my chain rattles sometimes.

Coach Taylor is a great bike coach too. Clear eyes....full hearts

[37Trek]

He is talking to a general audience. And the school he came from does not matter. The subject is cycling 101. dork

[LotusDragon09]

Normally I dont pedal at all when going downhill. I just enjoy the free ride :).

[LiveLaphLove]

Damn,what kind of bike is that?

[NerdyCanadian]

@LiveLaphLove that is what is called a road bike. They are awesome!

[glang27]

To the point and simply explained. Kudos.

[MrDRIFTIFICATION]

i ride a mountain bike and its ALOT simpler to change gear

[awe3774]

sorry.. what school are you in again??

[silac1993]

This is a good video, as a person who rode bikes with shifters like that but never knew how to properly use them or how they worked before! Thank you very much!!!

[urkingod]

who is he talking to? where is he looking at when he is explaining in the beginning ?

[976doddy]

Thankyou now i know to keep my chain straight!

[kingsfan1022]

Great info! Great video! Thanks!

[Spartacus217]

Dan is the man!

[smirish]

awesome video. now i have some idea what i am doing. thanks REI

[rbinayak]

So simply illustrated......thanks a ton man....

[SpeaknSpell23]

Great tips from these guys. Dan does an excellent job of keeping a process that is intimidating for beginners, simple (which it is) and drives home the principle of keeping the chain straight.

I think it would be helpful for them to do a video of riding in different weather and address maintenance as well.

[darkstar1dd]

i was wondering ...does it matter if you shift front or back first???

[chrisbear08]

i mean its not that hard. but its just cool to see the shifting in action from angles impossible to see while riding

[fukshittubesucks]

I could repeat the same thing every one else did about video..." perfection, and simplicity-" but I'd rather highlight that I am one person that went through and "liked" most everyone elses' comments. =) thanks.

[gelunmak]

Totally understand, thank you. For effective and fast shifting, i'll shift both front and rear gears simultaneously (try to make gear ratio change gradually)

[camcordertv]

Excellent. Thanks !

[iRonlMoNKleY]

Excellent. He makes it so easy to understand. Thanks Dan =]

[jinxedt13]

[ingnir]

I just learned shifting thanks to this video.

[chiquisbaby81]

Perfect. I've been looking for a video like this. Now I have some sort of idea.

[drjose4]

I had Dan as an instructor not long ago. He's great.

[fast1981]

Just awesome.

[jimbeamlive]

This video is exactly what beginners like me are searching for. No BS just straight to the point and accurate. I was looking up videos on how to shift gears. Seen many videos but was hard to understand but this just gets you there. Kudos
