Hit
the link below to invoke a program that generates a
table of bicycle gear ratios. It allows for 4 crank rings and
20 cassette cogs. No, I am not anticipating a bicycle with
80 gears. But this wide range does allow you to compare
a number of gears at once. The table shows gear ratios,
the gears ( CR / CS ), their positions numbered from the
lowest to highest gears ( CR
# CS # ), distance per pedal
revolution, cadence, velocity, and pace. Clicking on
column headers sorts the table entries.

later)
