Ok.....<br><br>
I have my trusty mtn bike.<br>
CS will give me (sometimes) gearing to use in the trainer rides.<br><br>
BUT.....<br><br>
I think my gearing is WAY different than what maybe he is thinking of.<br><br>
I counted today.......<br><br>
Does this sound right for what I'd have on a mtn bike (stock...right off the "showroom floor" of the bike store 10 years ago).<br><br>
Front: 42, 35, 21<br>
Back: 11, 13, 30, 36, 42, 48, 55

YES!!<br>
Even made the 'ZA man wait till I finished with one of the gears to pay him. <img alt="cool.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/cool.gif">

Ok....<br><br>
I DID miscount.....<br><br>
by double...<br><br>
I have:<br>
11, 13, 15, 18, 21, 24, 28 in the back...<br>
does that make more sense?<br><br>
WTH are gear inches?

OK...<br>
that's a pretty cool gadget/chart.<br><br>
What's it tell me?<br><br>
Why does knowing how far my bike will go with one turn of the crank help me?<br><br>
REally.....<br>
total newbie here.<br>
If these are "kindergarten questions" I apologize.
