As I said, nothing is simple if you complicate it. I've been fascinated by
gearing for 30 years at least; actually since my second bike build circa
1971 ("half stepped" an AW with 16 and 18 cogs). OTOH, my brother, whose
history is shorter but who knows more about bikes than I, simply doesn't
care about gearing -- if it feels good enough on the flats, on uphills, and
on downhills, he's happy. He really has no idea what cogs he uses. Me, I
can give you the exact gear inches of bikes I rode 30 or 40 years ago.
Hell, I even give great thought to fixed gear gearing.Patrick Moore, who used to work out gear charts in staff meetings.
