Thanks Roadraven. I didn't realise the ratio was just what gear you were in. I understand my gears high/low. It's this candence thing how do I know I'm turning at the required revs per min' if I don't have a counter?
Round here it's quite hilly. I'm just really aiming at getting better at going up them and basicly getting better at cycling full stop.On the flattish roads I'm averaging about 13 mph and on the hillier sections about 10mph. I don't know if that's good or not, but I'm hoping to improve.
