I like to ride rock trails , so that's why . I got it out of the back yard. Just put the shifter in 1& pull up straight hard , don't twist . Putting it in 1st just gives you a better angle . Watch you face , nose when it lets loose.

That's right , may hit up under each side of t Handel with something , the handle just snaps into place and has two small splines ( that's why you pull straight ) the button you will see how it works after you pull it off.
