How Mountain Bike Gears Work

The gears in mountain bikes just keep getting more and more intricate. The bikes of today have as many as 27 gear ratios. A mountain bike will use a combination of three different sized sprockets in front and nine in the back to produce gear ratios.

The idea behind all these gears is to allow the rider to crank the pedals at a constant pace no matter what kind of slope the bike is on. You can understand this better by picturing a bike with just a single gear. Each time you rotate the pedals one turn, the Rear Wheel would rotate one turn as well (1:1 gear ratio).

If the rear wheel is 26 inches in diameter, then with 1:1 gearing, one full twist on the pedals would result in the wheel covering 81.6 inches of ground. If you are pedaling at a speed of 50 RPM, this means that the bike can cover over 340 feet of ground per minute. This is only 3.8 MPH, which is the equivalence of walking speed. This is ideal for climbing a steep hill, although bad for ground or going downhill.

To go faster you’ll need a different ratio. To ride downhill at 25 MPH with a 50 RPM cadence at the pedals, you’ll need a 5.6:1 gear ratio. A bike with a lot of gears will give you a large number of increments between a 1:1 gear ratio and a 6.5:1 gear ratio so that you can always pedal at 50 RPM, no matter how fast you are actually going.

On a normal 27 Speed Mountain bike, six of the gear ratios are so close to each other that you can’t notice any difference between them.

With actual use, bike riders tend to choose a front sprocket suitable for the slope they are riding on and stick with it, although the front sprocket can be difficult to shift under heavy load. It’s much easier to shit between the gears on the rear.

If you are cranking up a hill, it’s best to choose the smallest sprocket on the front then shift between the nine gears available on the rear. The more speeds you have on the back sprocket, the bigger advantage you’ll have.

All in all, gears are very important to mountain bikes as they dictate your overall speed. Without gears you wouldn’t be able to build speed nor would you be able to pound pedals. The gears will move the pedals and help you build up speed.

There are all types of gears available in mountain bikes, all of which will help you build up a lot of momentum if you use them the right way.

Where is the best place to buy a Bike Chain and sprocket?

Need a bike chain and sprocket for a school project.
Live in Melbourne, Australia
Does anyone know the best place to get it?
thanks starman, i appreciate your answer,
weve tried several motorcycle dealers but none of them could help.
i was wondering if you could be any more specific??
business name or streer address would be ideal?
sorry, street*

Since this is a school project, I am not certain a bike sprocket will be usable, Finding the sizes you require may be hard. Also, bike chains come in fixed lengths, or bulk, which likely will be way too long.

But all is not lost. I suppose your telephone books have “Yellow Pages”, or such, which are commercial advertisements, by type of business. Look there, try “Power Transmission”. “Bearings” ( Bearing houses often also carry chains and sprockets.) If you do not find it there, try “Machine Shops”. They may not have them, but since it is a school project,you are very likely to find someone who will be happy to point you in the right direction.

Good Luck!!!! If you were in Texas, I would be pleased to help you get parts. I built a solar car chassis for a local high school project.
