Gearing

Lower gears help on climbs. Higher gears suit higher speeds.

Speed unavailable: wheel or tire size is missing or unclear.

Add your rear tire size to calculate speed

How it works

Ratio = front teeth ÷ rear teeth. Hub gears also include the hub’s internal ratio. A 400% range means the highest ratio is four times the lowest.

Speeds are estimates from tire size and pedal cadence. Actual speeds vary.

Your changes apply to this calculation. The archived build stays unchanged.

Gears Drivetrain

Front teeth Smallest rear teeth Largest rear teeth

Use up to three front tooth counts, separated by /. For one rear sprocket, enter the same count twice.

Rear tire

Rear tire marking

Apply the marking on your rear tire or edit its dimensions below. Older or fractional inch sizes need the ISO marking (e.g. 37-590).

Rim diameter (BSD, mm) Tire width (mm)

For 32-622, width is 32 mm and rim diameter is 622 mm. Use the rear tire on mixed-wheel bikes. Leave both fields empty to compare ratios only.

Cadence (RPM) Speed units

Full used-bike inspection guide →

Frame and fork

Inspect the frame and fork →

Archived: Frame: Reynolds 631 Chromoly · Fork: Chromoly

Check paint damage, vent holes and accessible internal surfaces for corrosion. Look for dents, bent tubes and cracking around welded or brazed joints.
Inspect the fork crown, blades, dropouts and visible steerer area. Check that it is straight, securely installed and free of cracks or impact damage.

Drivetrain

Check drivetrain wear →

Archived: Shifters: Shimano Dura-Ace · Front derailleur: Shimano Sora · Rear derailleur: Shimano Alivio · Crankset: Shimano R453 50/39/30t · Bottom bracket: Shimano Octalink · Cassette: Shimano HG30 11x25t · Rear cogs: 3x9 Speeds · Chain: KMC Z99

Shift through every available gear under light load. Hesitation, skipping or inconsistent indexing can reflect wear, damage, poor adjustment or mismatched replacement parts.
Measure chain wear with a compatible gauge and inspect chainring, cassette or freewheel teeth. A new chain does not rule out wear in the remaining drivetrain.
Turn the cranks slowly, feel for rough bearings and check for side-to-side play. Inspect crank arms, chainring bolts and pedal threads for looseness or damage.

Brakes

Inspect the brakes →

Archived: Brakes: Shimano R515

Inspect pads and braking surfaces, check the complete cable or hose path, and confirm both controls feel consistent and return cleanly.

Controls and contact points

Archived: Headset: 1 1/8" Threadless · Handlebar: Avenir 200 Series Drop · Stem: Alloy · Seatpost: Alloy Micro Adjust · Saddle: Brooks B17 Aged · Pedals: Wellgo M21

Apply the front brake and rock the bike to check for headset play or notchiness. Inspect the stem, handlebar and clamp zones, then confirm every fastener and control is secure.
Check that the seatpost moves for adjustment and that the saddle, post and clamp hold securely without cracks, severe corrosion or damaged hardware.
