This is one thread I had on the subject (look further down, page 3 I think is where the pictures are). I seem to recall touching on that subject in another thread or two. Do a search..

I use the 2nd and 3ord chain rings 98% of the time. I don't think I've ever used the 4th. The small 1st one has come in very handy, not all the way geared down (pedaling is way too fast at speeds too slow to balance normally), but it makes a big difference.
