Sorry if this is an overly basic or common question, but I just don’t know. What are the deciding factors in the gear selection? I’ve generally been keeping it on low if I know my speed will be consistently under 10 mph. If there is a split between < > 10, I generally choose high. If I’m going down a steep hill, I usually stop and change to low.

I have a short .6 mile loop around my property through the woods on a trail I have built. It’s a real mix of terrain in that short space. Straight, curvy, rocky, flat, level, steep. I’ve been staying mostly in high. I had a friend over the other day who believes low gear is the place to stay unless you’re going fast in an open field or very long trail. He stayed on low on my trail but generally went as fast as me.

So, what do you say? It’s a ’15 570 eps if that matters.
