I am more curious as to what the gear ratios and gain ratios are for that

He made a homemade round rim (more or less) and welded the spokes to it, it
looks like angle iron or angle aluminum was used.
It doesn't need any spoke tensioning then. -

Ah...the infamous Devil, as seen on every stage of the TdF.Pressure of a football (soccer ball for the 'merkins) is normally about
5psi. -
