One more thing about gears. I chose the standard setting for my 6 speed because I knew to little about the feel of the differences. A few gear inchces more or less written on a paper doesn't give me any feel of how it is to pedal on one gear rather than the other. But since I'm not a fast biker I will probably lower my gearing in the future. So a tip is that for steep hills lowered gearing is preferred. But also if you are not planning on fast biking lowered gearing can be better since you never know how where you will bring your bike and how hilly it is there.
