This is a question about how much of a cassette to use, from the biggest chainring.
I have always been careful not to use extremes of chainring/gear on an 8 speed bike..
i.e. on the biggest chainring, I have avoided using the largest 4 gears on the cassette,
on the smallest chainring, I have avoided using the smallest 3 gears on the cassette.
However, with my new 9-speed cassette, 12-25, with front chainring at 34-50, how low can/should I go when on the 50 ring?
Avoid the biggest 2, 3 or 4 gears ?
