I select my gears, then choose the mix of rings and cogs I need to get
them. For a "gofast" road bike ("fast is very relative) I like a 65", 70",
ad 75" right in the middle of the cogset. If I can get close steps with a
~40" low and a ~80-to-90" high, I'm happy.
On my erstwhile Ram I got these gears in 2 ways: first with a 44/30
subcompact crankset and a 14-15-16-17-18-20-23 7 speed, with the 44
positioned for use with all cogs. After buying a very pretty 7410 crankset,
I did much the same with a compact ("-") 52/38 and a
16-17-18-19-20-21-22-24-27 9 speed. The gaps with the bigger rings weren't
as efficiently spaced, for my needs, whence the 9 instead of the 7. But the
crank was so pretty, I had to use it.
I realize that my gearing choices indicate certain obsessive compulsive
tendencies.
