Hi all,
Hope you can help with a query I have with regards to gear ratio's.
I know that when calculating your gear ratio you divide that front ring number of teeth by the rear sprocket number of teeth and multiply by the rear wheel size.
So lets say I have 48/12*26 this gives me a 104 inch top gear, however, I'd get the same if it were 44/11*26.
So the question is, is one of the 2 options better than the other or doesn't it matter?
Thanks
Jules
