Which is the high-speed gear, L or H?
1 Answers
Among L and H gears, H is the high-speed gear. L stands for low, slow gear or low speed, M stands for middle, medium gear or medium speed, and H stands for high, fast gear or high speed. L is the abbreviation for LOW (low speed), M is the abbreviation for Middle (medium speed), and H is the abbreviation for High (high speed). Both the front and rear shifters have corresponding HL screws, which are the screws for adjusting the high and low limits. If a chainring cannot shift up or down, the shifting can be adjusted by adjusting the derailleur cable and the corresponding HL screws. Below are the specific details about low and high-speed gears in cars: Usage scenarios: High-speed gears are used when road conditions are good, the engine has sufficient power, or the vehicle load is light. Low-speed gears are used in situations with high driving resistance, such as starting, climbing steep slopes, starting on slopes, or navigating difficult road sections. Characteristics: High-speed gears offer faster driving speeds, smaller traction force, higher engine RPM, lower fuel consumption, and less engine wear, making them suitable for long-distance driving on good road conditions. Low-speed gears have a larger gear ratio, slower driving speeds, and provide the drive wheels with greater torque, increasing traction force.
