Ihre Eingaben

So funktioniert es

  1. 1

    Enter the number of teeth on your front chainring.

  2. 2

    Enter the number of teeth on your rear cassette sprocket.

  3. 3

    Enter your wheel diameter in inches.

  4. 4

    The calculator divides chainring teeth by cassette teeth to get the gear ratio, then multiplies by wheel diameter for gear inches.

Häufig gestellte Fragen

What does a higher gear ratio mean?

A higher gear ratio means more speed per pedal revolution but requires more effort. It's used for flat or downhill riding.

What is gear inches?

Gear inches is the effective diameter of the wheel in inches when accounting for the gear ratio. It helps compare gearing across different wheel sizes.

How do I choose the right gear ratio?

Choose a lower ratio for climbing and a higher ratio for speed. Consider your fitness level and terrain.

Formeln

Die Mathematik hinter diesem Rechner, aufgeschrieben, damit Sie das Ergebnis überprüfen können.

Gear Ratio

Gear Ratio = Chainring Teeth / Cassette Teeth

This is the number of times the rear wheel turns for each full pedal crank revolution.

Gear Inches

Gear Inches = Gear Ratio × Wheel Diameter

This converts the gear ratio into an equivalent wheel diameter, making it easier to compare different bikes.

Anwendungsfälle im Alltag

Wo diese Berechnung im täglichen Leben vorkommt.

Bike Setup

Determine the best gear combination for your riding style and terrain.

Example: Choose a 34/28 for climbing steep hills.

Comparing Bikes

Compare the gearing of different bikes regardless of wheel size.

Example: A 50/16 on 27.5" wheels vs a 48/15 on 29" wheels.

Training

Plan gear ratios for interval training or endurance rides.

Example: Use a higher ratio for sprint intervals.

Tipps und häufige Fehler

Tips

  • For climbing, aim for a gear ratio below 1.5.
  • For flat terrain, a ratio between 2.5 and 3.5 is common.
  • Larger wheels require a slightly higher gear ratio to achieve the same gear inches.
  • Test different ratios to find what feels comfortable.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Forgetting to include wheel diameter when comparing bikes.
  • Using the wrong teeth count (e.g., counting the chainring bolts).
  • Assuming a higher gear ratio is always better.

Annahmen und Einschränkungen

  • Use the stated inputs and units.
  • Results are estimates for planning and education.
  • Check measurements and source data before making an important decision.
