Don't you still have to pedal forward in order for the chainset to actuate the gear change?

- kbutler 10y agoYou just push off with your foot from the ground, giving you enough forward motion to down shift. It's easier if you downshift before stopping, but the only time it's a problem is if climbing a hill, in which case you probably downshifted anyway
- hx87 10y agoAh, I see what you're saying--the good old forward kick from standstill.
- Overtonwindow 10y agoWhat about electronic shifting?
- Grishnakh 10y agoYou're supposed to downshift before you stop. With indexed shifters on the brake lever, it's trivial to do as you're braking for the stop.
