Be A Smooth Operater

Ever hear or feel that uneasy chain snap when you shift that makes you think your drivetrain is about to fall apart?

It's true that you must pedal to shift, but moderate pressure on the pedals, rather than mashing on them, will ensure that the chain will move smoothly onto the next gear.
