OK, I have a stupid question. I pretty much always stay in 3-7 all the time. Including downhills, flats, and small hills. My last hill is an 8% grade, That I start at 2-7 and drop to 1-1 on the way up. Am I riding in effieciently? Should I drop a couple of gears and work on uping my cadence?
Oh and sometimes when downshifting going up the grade my chain does the most annoying thing. I flys off the gears and gets jammed between the small gear and the frame. Only seems to every happen when going up the big hill.
