Like, on a mountainbike you have two levers, one for the index finger and one for the thumb. why does on the right side the index give a “harder” gear and on the left the index finger lever give a “easier” gear? couldn’t they both give high and low gear in the same direction?
In: Engineering
Smaller to larger gear requires pressure. Larger to smaller releases pressure. With the chain rings (front) bigger to smaller is a lower gear…easier pedaling…more pedaling for same rear wheel rotation. With the sprocket (the rear wheels), larger to smaller is a higher gear…harder pedaling…less pedaling for more rear wheel rotation
