  • When you are at the foot of a climb and you shift into the small ring you don’t shift up? And vice verse over the top?

    Is this what you mean?

  • Ah I see. No I do shift up at the back when shifting down at the front to make the jump less severe. I was talking about the gaps between gears when only using 1 chainring. I meant if you were accelerating, you wouldn’t shift down at the front and up 3 or 4 times to give you a middle gear between two cogs in the big ring.

  • Ahh I guess we agreed all along then :)

    um, ok, yeah nobody does that.

    Your cassette is tighter on a two ring setup and still cover the range.
