Graphical gear calculator

More of a graphical interface, just slide the gears about till you get your ratios, select your tyre size, and off you go.

11 worked fine for me. I tried putting the two chainrings on 53 and 50 and an 11-25 cassette to compare compact vs. non compact for the high end, it's interesting to see graphically where the 11 and 12 fit:sogood wrote:Very nice presentation. But it could not handle 11 cog for some reason.

Thanks and it indeed works. I suspect it may have something to do with the sequence of settings on my last attempt. Now I wonder if it'll handle 11 speed cassette... And that works too.

Ok I found the app, but good old apple won't let me use it other than through the phone.

Drag the cogs off to the left until you have the number you desire. Here's my chart with a 7 speed.

yes ... we're like record players compared to mp3's, takes a little more effort than the bird brains can handle but we know what sounds the bestRob74 wrote:

I'm guessing you shifted either FD or RD to change, wouldn't be a significant disadvantage either way using the downtube levers. I'm guessing you would definitely be shifting in advance to cover your gradient... I think we're definitely spoilt because all I can see with the corn cob is HTFU to cope with hills

Was really hoping to buy a cassette thisarvo and wanted to check it on something else like this....

Bizzare, I think it might have been a DNS issue. I switched to 3G from wifi and worked fine....HappyHumber wrote:worked for me just now.
