o.k maths/computer geeks, if I was doing 40mph today on 75 gi, what does that make my cadence?
75 gear inches * 0.0254 * pi[U][/U] = 5.985 metres development 40 miles = 64,373.76 metres 64,373.76 / 5.985 = 10755.85 revolutions 10,755.85 revs / 60 minutes = 179.264 RPM
or
(miles * 1,609.344) / (GI * 0.0254π) / 60 = 179.272 RPM to be precise
