  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. Skip

    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.
