Another cycling question, which gears to avoid
I know that you shouldn't mix the biggest chainring with the biggest cog on the cassette.
My bike is setup as a 3x8. So, I've got lots of "speeds" at my disposal. What's safe/recommended? Say, the biggest chainring with the 6 highest cogs on the cassette? Then the middle 6 for the middle chainring and then the highest 6 on the smallest chainring? Or should I go even tighter only using 4 or 5 gears on each chainring?
