There is no point on worrying about cycling race if do not have awareness in relation to cycle gears. There are many people in the world who come to know about it only when they somehow face cycling race. You must have heard about multiple geared cycles, but have you ever thought what this is all about? Why a cycle requires multiple gears where normally 21 gears are so popular and maximum 33 are also possibly being used in many cases.

In this article we have written the need of an efficient bicycle with multiple gears. You will surely understand a lot by just going through this article mentioned here as follows:

First Know The Basics

How do we know concerning to gears on a bicycle?

It is simply the number of sprockets at the rear with the number of chain rings at the front of the bicycle bike. A 30 speed bicycle, hence, comes with a triple chain ring set up, that too with a 10 speed rear cassette. A cycle rider can use all 10 sprockets in grouping with each three chain rings. And at the other hand, a double chain ring can be paired with an 11-speed cassette which is called as a 22-speed set-up, and so goes on.

What’s Your Aim High or Low?

First understand that why using all gears have become necessary at all? In a short we can say, we use gears, in order to maintain comfy pedaling speed while cycling, irrelevant of ramp which is used and landscape.

‘Big gear’ is a term which is understood by all bicycle riders and is considered a most advantageous option when going downward but with a high speed. In order to find highest and biggest gear, combination of the largest front chain ring size and by smallest rear cog is achieved.

Along with the above one, by the combination of smallest front chain ring size along with largest rear sprocket size outcome in the lowest gear to assist in stay the pedal rotating at the point when road is suddenly up in the midst of the race.

We hereby would love to make it clear, maximum gears are not a sign of winning a bicycle race with a maximum speed. Rather number of gears gives your bicycle an efficiency and gain your speed from a standstill or when it is about to climb a hill.

In the perception of all this mentioned information, within a span of 5 day or 6 day, range of 12 to 25 teeth are supposed to be achieved by giving an appropriate sizeable gaps right through between the sprocket sizes.

In this way cyclists find the tune to their pedaling speed which suits the land and topography and considered to lose lesser amount of energy. In our other article we’ll talk about further details, as far as geared racing cycles are concerned.
