The rear cassette is 11 speed The combination of your selected chainring and cog determine the gear ratio. The gear ratio, combined with the circumference of your wheel and tyre determines how far you will travel with each revolution of the cranks.
To get our gear ratio we divide the number of teeth on the front by the number on the back:. This is expressed as 4. This is the gear I would use on the flat. It is going to take quite a lot of effort to get it moving, but when I do I will move quickly. This would be the opposite end, the small ring on the front and the biggest on the back. The reason for this is that they are the closest together, meaning you get a really low ratio. On the bike I ride this is 34 teeth at the front and 32 at the back — so really close.
This would be the gear I am using on the very toughest of climbs allowing mean to spin the wheels quickly to get my cadence high. A compact crankset typically has a 50 tooth 50T big ring and a 34 tooth 34T little-ring. When choosing cassettes, you can choose a cassette that has a narrow range of ratios but closely spaced between each cog, or you could choose a cassette that offers a wide range of ratios but at the cost of bigger jumps between cogs. Choosing a bike that has more speeds reduces the tradeoff some, and gives you more versatility.
If you live in an area that has more varied terrain, a wider-ranged cassette may be the better choice to help you get up those hills. The key learning from all this information is to make a conscious choice when you purchase a bike as to the gear range that you want.
Thank you in advance! Looking to upgrade to oval. What would be my best replacement. Hi, Aaron, wich Ultegra set do you have? Do you have the R or the ? Absolute black has some nice oval upgrades voor de Ultegra groupsets. I have a Campagnolo Athena triple chainset. The middle chainring is worn and needs replacing. It has 39 teeth and is 11 speed.
The chainset has a power torque fitting and dates to Can you supply a new chainring please, would prefer black but silver would do. I need to replace the outer chainring of a triple set fitted on a few years old Fuji MTB.
My mechanic has told me the inner two rings are fine so just need the outer which is worn. Will this fit or is there a better product available?
Thanks Chris. Hi Chris, nice to see that you take care of your mountainbike. The perfect fit depends on the right measurements, your mechanic probaly knows. Maybe the next product will give your bike some new joy. The leaves on the trees are slowly turning shades of red and yellow. Modern speed cassettes with the same spread, , would have only single tooth increments for the majority of the shifting.
The result is smoother, more precise shifting, as the mechanical difficulties the chain has to overcome to climb onto the bigger sprocket or drop down onto a smaller one are much reduced with smaller increments, but most importantly, the possibility is there to greatly improve pedalling efficiency.
Cyclists are much more able to fine-tune their pedalling speed to suit the gradient or terrain, often resulting in a lower energy cost. You don't have to ride a bike with gears - some people choose to ride singlespeed bikes. These still have a gear - which is determined by the size of the front chainring and rear cog. Singlespeed bikes are popular among commuters living in flat areas, because they require little maintenance.
They're also used by some racers hill climbers for example who want to drop weight and cut down on any extra complication coming from the shifting process - in this case, choosing the correct gear ratio is crucial.
Finally, track bikes only ever have one gear - though again riders will change their set up to suit certain events. In other words, some gear combinations will result in the same ratio as others using a different sprocket and chainring. For example, 53x19 is the same gear as 39x See the diagram below for an illustration of this. A classic t combination is known as a 'standard' chainset, though it is largely unused by recreational cyclists and very rarely specced on bikes by manufacturers.
A standard double set-up is usually the preferred choice for racing, offering the largest chainring sizes for the biggest gears possible to keep you pedalling smoothly when speeds are high.
A compact is essentially a double set-up, only smaller. Both chainrings are reduced in size, usually 34t or 36t inner, paired with a 48t or 50t outer, reducing the gear ratio across the range. The semi-compact chainset offers a 52t outer chainring one tooth smaller than the standard, but two teeth bigger than the compact paired with a 36t inner ring three teeth smaller than the standard and two bigger than the compact.
This combination offers the best of both worlds; the 36 inner ring can be paired with an , or cassette at the rear to offer enough gears to tackle almost every climb, while a 52t at the front offers a bigger gear for fast group riding, descending, and even racing. Having three chainrings brings the possibility of adding a much smaller gear option. The third chainring is usually 30t or smaller, which when paired with a large ratio rear cassette, can provide an extremely low gear for use on steep climbs.
On the back, the speed cassette starts at a tooth cog, and increases by 1-tooth per cog. The overall result is that you can reach a higher resistance at the top-end, and your smallest gear is even easier to push. SRAM has based Apex gearing around a compact double chainset, but utilises a specially designed rear derailleur and large ratio cassette of up to t to significantly reduce the gearing.
This not only offers an extra low bottom gear, lower even than a triple, but also provides an equivalent or larger top gear than a triple too. This type of robust, low-maintenance planetary gear system, housed in a fat rear hub, is still going strong. The popular Rohloff hub has 14 gears, while four, seven, eight, nine and speed options are available from the likes of SRAM, Shimano and Sturmey-Archer.
