Gearing calculator

Gearing for this bike

Put your current gearing in Setup A and the setup you are considering in Setup B. Everything updates as you type.

Start from a bike's stock gearing

Pick a bike to fill both setups with its stock sprockets.

Front sprockets 8–16 teeth, rear 34–60. Values outside that range are brought back to the nearest limit.

Setup A — what you run now

Front teeth

Rear teeth

Setup B — what you are thinking about

Changing the rear sprocket changes the chain length too. The chain length calculator works it out from the chain you have now, with where the axle ends up.

Ratios are exact. The chain figure is an estimate of roughly one link per two teeth of change — confirm against your manual before ordering.
