If in a clutch, shift your way to the "Riding/Training Techniques" forum.

Yep, do a seach. But to make things fast; no you dont need to use the clutch. Wont really "hurt" anything, but certainly DOES wear parts out faster. Doing it occasionally, or during a race wont hurt it.

Only do going up in gears.Going down not so easy and may hear a lot of grinding.

Isn't that the truth. Different strokes for different folks.

I really dont seem to save much time NOT using the clutch so I usually use it. Its nice being able to control how the power comes on too if I am shifting pulling a hill or something ...
