I guess I have 24 (3/8) gears available to me, not counting the bad-idea combinations. I'm finding
that, riding around the paved bike trails here in town, that I'm using the biggest gear on the front
pretty consistently, only delving into the mid sized gear when going up some fairly steep grades. I
suspect I'll use a broader range once I get on some trails outside of town. My question is the
following: are the 24 gears meant to have a strictly linear relationship? In other words if I'm on
the big gear in front and the biggest in the rear (for argument's sake only,) will that always have
more resistance than the middle gear in the front and the smallest gear in the back... or is there
overlap? And if so, is that just incidental or actually something people take advantage of? I hope
this question made sense to somebody...
Thanks, Al
