Yes but..... is that slow motion or slow pedalling?"Low Is Slow"
Maybe you could think of it as - highest gear = biggest difference between front and back.This has also always (and still does) confused me for 2 reasons.
- The effect of changing gears on the chain set (with a double or triple) has the opposite effect. i.e going to the smallest cog on the rear cassette puts you in the highest gear while going to the smaller cog at the front chainset puts you in a lower gear.
- The cassette sprockets get smaller and as you step 'down' the cassette to the 'smallest' gear/cog/sprocket you are actually moving to a higher gear
