Vetplant Posted January 17, 2017 Share Best advice I got for using gears on a bike:Try to shift between gear combinations as much as possible to find your sweet-spot and to stay there. The more you ride and shift the more you will figure out what works for you. As you are cruising along, try shifting one gear up and back to the previous one, then shift one gear down and back again. You will feel the difference in resistance and the change in pedaling speed. Don't worry that you will wear out the gears because of excessive shifting, it is much more important to stay in you sweet-spot. That's my 2c..

Pure Savage Posted January 17, 2017 Share Are your socks the correct length, gearing may be important, but looking the part is a lot more important! Calf high, may not have the word Falke on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cois Posted January 17, 2017 Share a kind of word play...

Mamil Posted January 17, 2017 Share I heard of a guy called Die Muishond who never wears socks or shoes because he's grown cleats like rhino horns on his feet.

Kalahari Vegmot Posted January 17, 2017 Share Are your socks the correct length, gearing may be important, but looking the part is a lot more important! Calf high, may not have the word Falke on them.This is of uttermost importance. If sock lenght is incorrect, you'll never pedal very efficient...

s14phoenix Posted January 17, 2017 Share I heard of a guy called Die Muishond who never wears socks or shoes because he's grown cleats like rhino horns on his feet. I saw this somewhere: Rule 00: DIE MUISHOND is exempt from the rules but will enforce them onto others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allrounder Posted January 17, 2017 Share Strip off your gears, and ride single speed. One less thing to worry about while out and enjoying the fresh air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allrounder Posted January 17, 2017 Share This is of uttermost importance. If sock lenght is incorrect, you'll never pedal very efficient...This is why you must wear compression socks. (and it should stop just below the knee.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
