I know for experienced cyclists this may seem elementary, however, I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get my chain on the largest chain ring on the front. Does it have to be on a certain chain ring on the back to move up to the largest ring on the front? Does someone know a site that explains "Basic Gearing 101"? :D I'm not sure if something is wrong with my new bike or if :rolleyes: it's me. Probably the latter.
