It really depends on the incline of the hill, but the first is the number of teeth in the smallest chaining (front gears).The second is the number of teeth on the largest sprocket of the cassette (back gears ).You then divide one by the other to get the gear ratio A gear ratio of 1 means that when you turn the pedals one revolution the wheel will rotate once. A gear ratio of 2 means that for every half turn of the pedals the wheel will rotate once.The lower the gear ratio , the easier it is to climb the hill

Examples of a pulley system?
There are many examples of a pulley system such as a drawbridge in a castle or a set of rock climbing gear
Can a machine multiply input distance?
Force - yes - a crowbar Distance - yes - high gear on a bicycle Energy - no.
Can light speed be achieved with gear ratios?
No, Scientists have been able to get microparticles up to speeds close to lightspeed. With today's technology, lightspeed is pretty much our speed limit. Currently if we cant get microparticles up to licht speeds I assume that Gear ratio light speed is a long way off.
Is gear a force multiplier or a speed multiplier?
Both. A small driving gear and a large driven gear is a force multiplier. Whilst a large driving gear and a small driven gear is a speed multiplier
How can a gear turn without touching?
Say you pull a lever theres a pulley that hits the gear and it spins
What is the Speed Ratio of a bicycle?

What stores sell climbing gear?
You can find climbing gear at almost any good sports store such as ACME Climbing. I you need a list of retail stores that sell climbing gear you might try http://www.summitpost.org/online
How do you calculate a gear ratio on a bicycle?
Bicycle gears are measured in inches. The formula is 27 (Size of wheel.) divide by number of teeth on rear sprocket. Multiplied by the number of teeth on chainwheel. Example 27 divide by 18, times 50, equals 75.0 inch gear.
Why is gear ratio also called velocity ratio?
The gear ratio of a train, also known as its speed ratio, is the ratio of the angular velocity of the input gear to the velocity of the output gear. The gear ratio is very important when it comes to physics.

Mountain Gear and Summit Post are two websites which sell gear for mountain climbing. Back Country and ProLite Gear also sell mountain climbing apparel and gear.
What is the relationship between driven gear and drive gear?
The ratio is the driven gear divided by the driver gear. This determines the gear ratio.
