I know what you mean I just get on and ride. I tend to go as low as possible on the hilly sections and as high as my legs feel comforatable elsewhere. (I only have a double ring in front).
As for cadence I don't have anyway of measuring that and if I did I wouldn't know what to do with it!! And what's this ratio thing?aaarrgh
