Lower gears in the rear end means that the wheels will turn more than expected for a given gear and engine rpm, so the odometer will read higher than it should.
The front Band is for 2nd and 4th gear.
Speedometer is ran by electronic sensor on rear end. Odometer is ran from speedometer. If both don't work problem is sensor. If speedometer works sensor is okay. If speedometer works and odometer does not problem is in mechanical parts (gears) of of odometer and has to be replaced. Can get used from eBay (search for speedometer or odometer, is one unit) or take to dealer.
6-speed bike gears work by changing the size of the chainring and the rear sprocket to adjust the resistance and speed of pedaling. Lower gears are easier to pedal but provide less speed, while higher gears are harder to pedal but allow for faster speeds. Cyclists use the gears to match the terrain and their desired speed, shifting to lower gears for uphill climbs and higher gears for flat or downhill sections.
On a 1995 Ford Bronco : The rear gears are INSIDE the rear differential ( pumpkin ) located in the middle between the 2 rear wheels
if the rear tires are turning the odometer does go up. but you can pull the drive shaft out and it will not matter the odometer will stay the same.
For a faster top speed, you'd want shorter rear end gears. For quicker acceleration, you'd want taller rear end gears.
The spider gears.
An 18-speed bike has two sets of gears: the front gears (chainrings) and the rear gears (cassette). By shifting between these gears, cyclists can adjust the resistance and speed of pedaling. Lower gears are easier for uphill climbs, while higher gears are better for flat terrain or downhill. To use them effectively, cyclists should anticipate changes in terrain and shift gears accordingly to maintain a comfortable pedaling cadence.
The three types of bevel gears commonly used in rear axles are straight bevel gears, spiral bevel gears, and hypoid bevel gears. Among these, spiral bevel gears are the most commonly used due to their smooth operation, higher load capacity, and ability to transmit power at right angles with less noise and wear compared to straight bevel gears. Hypoid bevel gears are also popular for similar reasons but are typically found in applications requiring a lower center of gravity.
There are internally geared bikes, where all the gears are tucked away inside the hub and then there are externally geared bikes, with a stack of differently sized sprockets on the outside of the hub. Apart from that they're just called gears.
Tire size has effect,also o2 sensors , carb jetting, fuel injector size,transmission kits ,rear gears.
The gears on the rear wheel are called a cassette
