Mountain bike gauges
What gauges on a mountain bike are suitable for traveling on the roads? I always set mine to the highest. Guage 6 on the back wheel gauge 3 on the front.
|
...could you clarify that question?
|

Should be good with the stock gearing.

the stock gauges.

It depends on the motor (you)
If you feel comfortable in 6 on the rear and 3 up front, thats cool. I ride between 7-9 on rear and 3 on front. |
go by your cadence if you want
|
They're not gauges, call them gears, or more specifically, chainrings and cogs and how many teeth they have. Might want to read some of the articles here http://sheldonbrown.com/gearing/index.html

I have a blood pressure GAGE next to the Garmin, its helpful. When it starts to peg I engage the alternator running off the front disc brake connected to the portable DeFib Unit. When the voltage GAGE says UHOH! I shock myself. GAGEs are helpful!

Hahaha I smell a smelly smell that smells like A TROLL!! perhaps you should just ride on down the road and if it gets to hard, then you should either shift down a couple cogs, or just stop in the road and fall down.

yea, I run an autometer pyrometer and a isspro boost gauge on my mountain bike.

Just make sure your flux capacitor is working and you'll be fine.

I have an Awesomeness gauge on my bike. It derives its reading from my current level of awesomeness. As expected, it's always pegged.
