    It was interesting before they said "sustainable bioplastic".

    Hmph. The instructions on the site say to put you chain on the lowest cog
    and then proceed to show the chain on the highest cog.

    Does everyone else think like me that the lowest cog means the lowest gear ratio, eg: the largest one?

    To me they meant to say "smallest" instead of lowest.

    Nitpickingly Yours....

    Welcome to my world.
    With most customers we avoid the terms 'high gear' and 'low
    gear' in favor of 'the big one' or 'the small one' or
    'inside' and 'outside'.

    Do you get many bicycles for repair where the rider has chosen the one gear they like and has never shifted to another gear and then wonders why the cables are seized?

    I used to see a lot of such bicycles in shops where I worked.

    Cheers

    Yes that never changes; as many customers' gear systems.
