Shifting without gear indicators

[crazycanuck]

I just go by feel..I have an inkling of what gear i'm in on the mtb when i'm on it. When I start out, i'm in X gear then i move up or down blah blah blah depending on the terrain..

Aren't you practicing in some park that's flat? Why not just stop and look at your rear cassette and have a think...

Don't make it so difficult.


I'll tell ya one thing..we have a race this weekend & it's uphill...i'll be in low gear...trying not to die...

I just glance down or back as needed. Mostly, I go by feel...
