I would have to answer hell if I know.
In all due respect you missed my point. My question is, in bicycle talk, what is a high gear or what is a low gear. On occasion people will say... "I was in the highest gear and my bike was making a noise." HTUpolev provided a great explanation. It makes perfect sense.
And yes, I get it that one can't refer to a gear in numerical language. In other words I can't say.... "I was in 12th gear and my bike makes a noise." That would make no sense to anyone and I learned that in HTpolev's post.
