Hi there,
I'm really a newbie to roadbikes. I have always been riding a mountain bike for leisure but recently I have gotten more seriously with biking and got myself a new roadbike with flat bar. My problem is that I have always changed gears according to the "leg power feel" and I think that is not correct.
Can someone give me a guidance on what are the correct gears I should actually for different terrains? I have tried various combinations on my new bike but I do not know what is wrong as my max speed is only 27km/h and average 15-20km when I can go faster. I realise my bike spin out of control when I try to speed up to the speed that I want to go. I really need a re-education on bikes. Is there some website I can go to read about gears and stuff like this?
