My Crosscheck has bar-end shifters, and I am trying to familiarize myself with the front and rear derailleurs.
On the left (front) derailleur I have 2 gears. And on the right shifter (back) I have 9 gears.
The upshift/downshift verbiage is confusing me.
When the manual reads, "The combination of largest rear, smallest front gears is for the steepest hills" is it referring to the physical size of the gears?
What would be the best combination for speed then?
Thanks
