Gear inch/ratio question

Awkwardo, don't take it personally. The people commenting don't know you, they're just trying to help. Of course, that often comes across wrongly on an impersonal forum. You also need to consider that threads like this, in which people ask for basic information, are often derailed far more--this has been very civilised. Just stick around for a while and you'll be all right. :)

I appreciate that.
