Re: To Shift or Not To Shift, That is the Question

Here is a rule of thumb that I have developed over the years.

You want to gear your drivetrain to go as fast as you can but still spin the wheels/treads when you are up against a wall.

<EDIT> If you want to go faster, you need to a multi-speed gearbox.
