geemobee Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Hi Hubbers, No prizes for guessing who's the noob! I bought a bike and it came with this setup. Any takers for helping me decipher what the gear setup is? I'm rather enjoying it. Gary

geemobee Posted February 17, 2014 Author Posted February 17, 2014 Now, when I'm going up a hill, do I want the chain over the biggest cog or smallest cog? Are they even called "cogs"?
Firemeister Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Smallest one, all the way to the top. Also remember to peddle with one foot only. Claudio and pierre- 2
geemobee Posted February 18, 2014 Author Posted February 18, 2014 Will I struggle to tackle a mountain with this setup?
Cellar Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 (edited) Now, when I'm going up a hill, do I want the chain over the biggest cog or smallest cog? Are they even called "cogs"? I've seen them called cocks here. In hindsight, maybe they were referring to the riders. Edited February 18, 2014 by Cellar
