Help for tomorrow chain placement on gears

dryvr12 · 06-03-2010, 06:04 PM

I have a big trip tomorrow and my chain is stuck on the smallest gear in front. How is the chain supposed to be set up, smallest in back biggest in rear, or vice versa? I know the front derailer is what is limiting me and am going to watch the adjustment video.
