I've encountered no problem.Please clear.... They keep talking about riders (ie Dave, just now) being on both large rings... Wouldn't that be cross chaining? I know for me as an extreme and with mid-line components, that would be near death of derailling. Am I missing something? hmm.. once I can get on the trainer, I'll have to practice and tune and see if I can get it to work for me. I find that if I shift in or out of this while on a hill, the tension is too much and throws the chain. |

In your Big Ring at the front... you *should* be able toride the smaller gears at the back... that's exactly how I ride 80% of the time... my friends constantly accuse me of "mashing it out" . But with my oak tree legs I can hack it out with no prob... I think maybe my legs are built for cycling... The ONLY time I ever use my small cog on front is on med-big hills. |

I find that if I shift in or out of this while on a hill, the tension is too much and throws the chain. Depends on the bike. I have a triple in front on my road bike and crossing is bad! On my tri bike, I have a compact double in front and I can get away with some crossing. Also have better components on my tri bike (DuraAce vs. 105) |

Mashing... you could be... Are you spinning your legs? Or forcing down on the pedals... do you spin around or push down/up.... Hard to tel without seeing it... but just because its a big gear it doesnt mean you are mashing.... there is more toit than that! |

I think up/down (get to work hammies) Then there are times I spin... I think forward motion and let my toes get forward and try to think "run" it out... I mash on small declines and flats to build... I "spin" on uphills to *try* not to burn out and keep it non-aggressive.... and obviously, yes I MASH and MASH hard when the hills are short and steep... |
