Best Answer

The most gears you can have straight off the shop floor is 33, but dependent on how much rebuilding and custom fabrication you're willing to do there's really no upper limit. Keep in mind that the actual number of usefully different gear ratio is usually considerably less than the number of gears.
All depends on the bike. The most you can currently have on a stock bike would be 33, but for someone with a taste for customization that can easily be increased. Most MTBs and hybrids will havebetween 21-27, most road bikes 18-22. Thing is that although you might have 30 or so different combos you don't really have 30 different gear ratios. Something like 1/3 of the ratios will repeat themselves as you work your way through the gears.
