Re: [St] Chain & Sprockets

Some of you may be interested in a small, free program called GearCalc that
can be downloaded from www.ironjungle.com

here is an excerpt from the short readme file:

"Ever wonder...
 - The bike's RPM at 60MPH?
 - The bike's engine RPM when cruising down the highway?
 - How will adding a tooth to the rear sprocket effect the top end?
 - What gear ratios are right for the new track?
 - The bike's top end at redline?
 - Is putting on a taller tire a good idea?
 - etc., etc., etc....
  ....wonder no more!"
