Gear Ratios

Tiesetrotter

Anyone know where the best gear ratio calculator is?

Currently run a semi compact and a compact:

11 - 29 on the semi
11 - 25 on the compact

The 29 on the semi does seem easier.

Ahhh so one is 2.4 and the other 2.7.

So that means a 52/27 is the same as a 50/25. Must admit coming up the 17 - 22% hills on the way home I do like my 52/29. But I think I'll manage.

All you need is a basic calculator and you can work it out yourself.
