Presently I’m using a Shimano Alfine which comes with a shifter gear indicator that show 1,6,11, so I’d know approximately what gear I’m engaging. If riding on the familiar road, I’d use the tried and tested gear which give me the best speed (assuming no wind).
I recently bought a new road bike with 2 front cogs, Shimano Ultegra shifters but this is without any indicator. I’d have to constantly keep looking down to check the cassette what gear I’m engaging and thereafter I have to constantly keep the gear no. in mind when I shift and counting.
What’s the proper way to keep track of the gear no. without keeping a count in the mind. Or is it all just by feeling when riding.
