You can switch gear anywhere through the crank rotation though no? So with this in mind, how do you tell which way to install a ring relative to the spider? Assuming that the area with the smaller teeth is supposed to be in a set position relative to the arms
PhilDAS-
Isn't there a pin?
This needs to be adjacent to the crank to catch dropped chains.

There is usually some kind of marking to indicate correct clocking.

You can try, but the positioning of the lifting pins will actually make it happen at specific points.

You have to look at it in conjunction with the ramps and pins and the clocking relative to the crank, and from the point of view of the chain as it gets lifted off the little ring and caught by the big one.
