I suppose your talking about High gear or Low gear.
Lets say 1-18.
Lower gears like 1-10 will be tougher to pedal. And are great for going up hills or getting a leg workout.
Higher gears like 10-18 will be looser and easier to pedal. Great for flat surface or going down hill.
Speed is only a factor when the amount of force applied meets the momentum required to achieve the speed.
If your legs are strong enough in low gear you can push hard and move fast. If you've got some good cardio going, that you can really get moving in a high gear too.

Aero spoke wheels will upload some performance yet they're not extremely extremely really worth the money on a commuter motorbike. in the journey that your wheels are heavy, you may want to benefit from a lighter set. to flow swifter you'll favor to regulate the gearing. replace your the front chaining to a 52 or fifty 3 and reduce the length of your rear one. I ran a 52/14 configuration for a lengthy time period and that i replaced into waiting to climb small hills and nonetheless get round at severe speeds. It relies upon on how a lot potential you've on your legs. making a motorbike smoother may be done with more effective, decrease rigidity tires yet keep in mind that decrease rigidity tires could have a adverse effect on %.

oh puhleeze. whatever gear you can spin in.
Going uphill? Lower gear, spin up the hill. On the flat? Click into a bigger gear. Flat but fighting a headwind? Gear down to spin spin spin 80-100 or so rpm.
The single most sign that says "beginner cyclist" is plodding along grinding big gears. Gear down to speed up, unless you're Jan Ulrich that is.

Large chainwheel in the front, and the smallest cog in the rear.
And you of course.

Bigger on the pedals, smaller on the rear tire.

get it right in between, because when you have it really high, it is a big struggle, but when you have it really low, then you won't be getting anywhere.
