Bike Gears Easiest To Hardest at Katie Butters blog

Bike Gears Easiest To Hardest. Bikes have either one, two, or three front gears/chainrings, and the bigger the chainring, the harder it is to pedal; Chainrings (sprockets) are the larger plates at the front of the drivetrain attached to the cranks. The small ring is best for climbs, and if you have a third, middle ring, this is where. The rest of the gears range between those two. The easiest (lowest) gear is when the chain is on the smallest ring in the front and the largest cog in the rear. The “big chain ring” is the hardest gear to pedal in, and is best reserved for flat roads and downhills. The smallest cog in the cassette (hardest gear) and the smallest chain ring in the (easiest gear). While in these positions the chain is stretched at an angle that causes damage to the drivetrain over time, as well as increases the chance of the chain slipping or rubbing the derailleurs. Bike chainrings — 1x, 2x, 3x. To achieve the hardest gear, move the chain to the smallest rear gear and the largest front sprocket, and vice versa for the easiest gear. Going from “easier” gears to “harder” gears is called “upshifting”, and the reverse is called “downshifting”. 11 cogs on the rear cassette and two on the front chainring essentially gives you 22 different options (though some of these may cross over so not strictly true).
