    Nope - that imagination gets you sometimes! Good old mathematics always tells the truth! Although you can get statistics to lie sometimes!!


    I think that I did it right - I used the size of my back wheel (which is actually 700c, but I also used 27" )

    It was so much fun to do, that I did it for both of my bikes. My Terry Classic and my Trek Navigator 300 (which has a tire size of 26").


    I am so stoked to actually see it in table format - it makes everything so clear to me!

    What do you think, do they look correct?
    I also did the same (maths geek) so I have a lovely spreadsheet with the ratio table for each of my bikes (27" and 26" wheels). I did a quick check of the ratios we had in common and yours are spot on. So I think you get a gold star for that one! You will never need to wonder again.
