Biking Uphill... Understanding Gear Ratios

Ratios are used to compare several different gear settings on a mountain bike, and why it is much easier to pedal uphill if you choose the right gear combination!

I know this a ten year old video and you won’t see this but you are the only one that explained this in a simple way. Thank you so much.

I've watched bigger channels explain this but no one made it so simple and understandable as you have. Thank you so much.

I can’t believe it’s nine years old but it beat all of the other video that I watched.
Thank you so much

This is an actual informative video. 99% of content on the web nowadays is just simplified copied junk with no real original content.

[darkphoenix]

You explained this 100% better than all the "pro" channels. THANK YOU

The accountant/analyst in me really appreciates this explanation. The lower the gear ratio, the easier the energy expenditure! Greatly demystifies the gearing. Thank you very much! I get it now💡😀

[Ziffel]

Thank you. This video helped me to understand the gears better than any other video that I've watched. I'm now a subscriber.

excellent video... wish i had math teachers such as yourself when i was a kid

[Storkee]

I already got it when you did the part where you're spinning the wheel, then you even showed the math, couldn't ask for more.

I'm 69 and getting back into biking. This helped a lot. You are never too old to learn new tricks.

I feel so dumb. I was doing the exact opposite (big in front, small in back) and STRUGGLING! Excited to try this combo instead for tackling the hills near me. Thank you!

I'm a kid going to high school and I just got my new bike today. It is my first bike with gears and now I understand how to use the gears. Thank you for explaining so easily how gears work. I am now going to subscribe.

I'm really struggling in ratios and fractions and I'm glad this video helped me for my exam. You even used bike cogs to explain ratios, thank you man.

[lesleygeldart]

Thank you. I’ve been watching bike people try to explain this but now that I see the math. It makes perfect sense.

[rishabprasad]

This is how concepts are taught.
1 padlde= 4 tyre rounds.
This is where you became a very good math teacher.

*I really like the **Latest.Bike** . It is just amazing... very light weight so it is easy to take it upstairs in the apartment where I live. It looks great and it feels great while riding. I definitely recommend this bike. You won’t be disappointed 🙂*

[crdave]

simplest & clearest explanation I've seen, thanks!

[clubpenguinsucks]

I like and appreciate that you explained every little detail to figure out how gear ratios work. Other videos just tell me to be on low and high without explaining why, but your explanations helped a lot (especially drawing out the distance travelled helped me put it together).

[pyrlover]

I really appreciate your explanation. The way you started the video showing 4 rotations on the rear wheel with one rotation on the crank, then 2/3 rotation on the rear vs 1 rotation the crank is a great visual. I understand ratios but this really shows the relationship of front gears vs rear. Awesome job!

Thank you from a homeschool teacher in Ontario, I turn to you to teach Math to the children and myself practically.
