gear change

Hi all, this has defeated some of the finest minds today on our bike ride and is something I have wrestled with a good part of the year. I have a Sram Rival 1 set up whereby my actual largest cog on the rear seems to be bigger than my chainring, anyway no matter how many times I reindex on the...
