Mandrew Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 This may be a very stupid question, but what is the point of my flightdeck telling me the gear ratios, every time i change gear ? Am I just reeeeeally ignorant, or is the number quite well.. useless?
Mudsimus Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 If you look back at your cassette everytime you shift to check in wich gear you are, then get a flightdeck. If not, good.
The Guy in Pink Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 Way back when it was important to know your ratio's. Then we only had 5 cogs on the back and usually 48/52 in front. We took a lot of time deciding on which five to use before a race, and was useful to know which ones were duplicated. Everyone knew their ratio's .. Today with 10 on the back and 53/39 in front there is always capacity to spare. Not important to know the ratio anymore.
AndreZA Posted January 4, 2008 Posted January 4, 2008 I've got the new 10spd flight deck and it does not tell the ratio anymore but rather the actuall gear sizes. I think it's the 6602 model.
