How It Works

Calculate cycling speed from gear ratio (chainring teeth / cog teeth), wheel size, and cadence, to optimize gear selection for target cadence at race speed

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Gear ratio — The gear ratio recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Wheel size — The wheel size recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Cadence — The cadence recorded for the scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the gear ratio speed result against the thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the gear ratio, wheel size, cadence for the scenario you are assessing. Calculate cycling speed from gear ratio (chainring teeth / cog teeth), wheel size, and cadence, to optimize gear selection for target cadence at race speed. Use the gear ratio speed result to inform your calculation.
