Front Gears

The front gears are referred to as chain rings . The whole group with the arms and the front gears together is known as the crank set. Crank sets have either two or three chain rings, single chain rings are useful in mountain bikers. On the crank set, the smallest chainring is closest to the frame. The smaller the chain ring, the easier the pedaling.

Rear Gears

The gears on the rear wheel are called cogs and when you put a few of them together and attach them onto your back wheel, they are referred to as a cassette. The largest cogs are closest to the wheel and the gears are numbered from the inside out. The larger the cog the lower the gear and the easier it will be to pedal but the slower you will go

Gear Maintenance for Bike & Bicycle

Here are three final gear maintenance tips to take with you on your next ride.

• Avoid cross-chaining: Cross-chaining is when you have a little or big combination high and low pedaling.
• Anticipate your shifts: Keep an eye on the road ahead and shift before you have to. You’ll maintain a smoother power output, and you’ll be shifting at a time when there is less stress on the drive train.
• Keep pedaling: It is much more efficient to keep a steady power rather than fast riding. It’s feels like you’re getting better exercise when you make that big effort, but you’re putting all the load on your muscular system, which isn’t really good at sustained effort. Spinning light and fast ends up putting out the same amount of power, but shifts the load to your cardio-vascular system, which is good at endurance activity.
