How do I shift gears on my mountain bike?

mountain bike gear How do I shift gears on my mountain bike?
My mountain bike only has small dashes on the levers you use to change gears… How do I know which are higher or lower gears? Is pushing the levers out taking them into higher gears…or vice versa? Or something else completely. Right now riding on a flat surface is easy, but at the slightest incline…it is really hard to pedal!

Can I get some help please?!?!?!

My bike gears keep shifting late, and going out of gear?

mountain bike gear My bike gears keep shifting late, and going out of gear?
I just bought a used TREK 830 mountain bike with a shimano 21 speed. It rides alright, but the only problem is somtimes when shifting (paddle shifter) it takes some gear grinding to shift into gear. Also when I stand up to pedal hard the bike goes out of gear and into another gear. How do I fix this?

How do you use the gears on a mountain bike?

Saturday, February 5th, 2011

mountain bike gear How do you use the gears on a mountain bike?
I must sound like an idiot, but I seriously don’t know how to use the gears on my mountain bike.
I know how to ride it, I’ve been riding for my whole life almost, but I’ve never used the gears.
Can you explain to me simply the use of each gear?
My right handlebar has the numbers 1-7 and my left has 1-3 widely spaced.
It’s a new columbia mountain bike.
I don’t know the height, I think it’s around 15″ if that helps
