  1. Hi All
    Looking for this formula:

    chainring /
    cog x
    wheel size x
    pi /
    88 /
    something x
    cadence =
    miles per hour

    the rest i forget but it gives the speed based on cadence in mph. Anyone
    know the rest or something other formula that does the job? Thanks a bunch.

  2. If I remember correctly, gear inches times cadence divided by 336 equals
    mph. Try Sheldon Brown though, I have been wrong in the past.

    Email me if you want an Excel spreadsheet that calculate gear inches,
    development (in meters) and mph for a given crank rpm for triple crank,
    da Vinci quad, SRAM DualDrive, Schlumpf Speed and Mountain drives,
    Rohloff hubs, jack-shaft step-up gear, and Rotator type mid-drive systems.

  6. If you know gear inches, then at 100 rpm multiply GI by .3 to give
    approximate speed ie 80 inches = 24 mph.
