The one you have chosen. If you have several sprockets on the rear the biggest is the "first", then you can count up from that. If you have several sprockets on the front as well, then you start counting from small front/big rear (first gear) to small front/small rear, then you start over att big front/big rear to big front/small rear(last or highest gear).

Is a bicycle a wheel in axle or a gear?
A bicycle is both.
Can you put gear on a hake bicycle?
Neither I or Google knows what a "hake bicycle" is.... come back with a description.
What is a gear chain on a bicycle?
Put simply... it's a circle of links that connects the drive gear (attached to the pedals) to the speed gear(s) - attached to the rear wheel. Rotating the drive gear (using the pedals) transfers the movement to the gear cogs on the rear wheel - which propels the bicycle forwards.
How do you ride a bicycle fast?
Pedal as fast and as hard as you can in an appropriate gear.
How do you change gear on an Edlund?
Google can't find an Edlund bicycle.
If you are on gear one are you on a big gear or a small gear?
1st gear is the gear where you can pedal with the least resistance. For a bicycle with external gears the chain should be on a big sprocket at the back and a small chainwheel at the front.
What is the Speed Ratio of a bicycle?
The speed ratio of a bicycle is the (gear ratio* radius of the wheel)/ Length of the pedal arm.
How many wholes are in a bicycle chain?
Bicycle chains are generally cut to size. But most derailer gear bikes use 114-116 link chains.
What are the main features of a GMC Topkick bicycle?
Some of the main features of a GMC Topkick bicycle include, dual suspension and 21-speed gear. One can purchase this bicycle from reputable online retailers such as Amazon.
What 4 letter word means the working part of a car or bicycle which changes the speed?
gear
Why does the rear wheel of a bicycle turn faster than the pedals?
because of the gear ratio and the chain
What limits the speed of the bicycle?
A bicycle's speed is limited by several factors. Below is a list of some of these factors that limit bicycle speed. -Gear the bicycle is in. -Weight of bicycle and/or rider. -Size of gears. -Terrain -Tire size -Strength or power of the rider. -One key point to note is that the speed at which a rider can spin the wheel is related to the ratio between the front gear size and the rear gear size. If the front gear is larger than the rear gear, the rear gear(and thus the tire) can achieve a higher spin rate because one spin of the front gear will equate to multiple spins of the rear gear. Therefore the better the ratio is, the faster the bike can travel. Also, the tire size can be a limiting factor of a bicycle's speed. If the rear gear spins at 1RPM and the rear tire has a circumference of 1 meter, then 1 meter will be traveled every minute. So plainly the greater the circumference the better. This also brings in a third factor however, the weight of the tire. At a certain size, the tire becomes so heavy that friction of the wheel on the ground makes it more difficult to achieve motion. The lighter the tire is the less friction it will create.
