Hello all, I have a question, My bike when I ride it in the middle chain-ring and back paddle, everything is fine, but once I put it in the large chain-ring and back paddle, the shift my gear to the smaller cogs...
Does anyone know what I can do to resolve this issue?
Thank you very much for helping everyone

Your question is a bit confusing they way it's worded, it almost sounds like you're saying that you're trying to shift by back pedaling, but I'm guessing that isn't the case.

Any gear you can get into by pedaling forward should survive being back pedaled once it's in that gear. A freehub that isn't freewheeling properly can derail the chain to the smaller cogs when you backpedal, but that should happen in any gear. I'd say chainline or derailleur alignment maybe.

More information about what the components are would be helpful.
