So - I got 2 rings at the front, 1 big, one small. and then 9 different positions available at the back.
I know that i'm not supposed to use big and big, and small/small.. but what combinations can I get away with that dont stress the gears/cross chain? I've seen guides like the image below which depict 3 chain rings at the front, but nothing for a bike with 2 chain rings?
Can i get away with using the big chain ring all the way up to the second from largest cog etc - or not go past the 3rd largest etc? hope the question makes sense.
.. yes.. i'm an absolute newbie /img/vbsmilies/smilies/rolleyes.gif
