For those who have not been following the Cadence???? thread, I thought I would announce the posting of my Gear-Cadence table.
This is a table in which you may enter your gearing and desired cadences. It will then produce for you a chart of gearratios, gear-inches, and for each cadence, the speed at which you are travelling (in km/h or mph). With this information, you can create a small table which you tape to your handlebar stem. Then, when you know your speed (from your cyclometer), you'll know your cadence.
It is presently set up for two chainrings. I'll see what I can do to create a three chainring version in the next few days.
It is an Excel worksheet, so you have to have Excel to use it.
There are instructions at the bottom of the table. Please read them, or you may end up corrupting the calculations.
To download go to: http://www.uni-bonn.de/~jmlee/
Have fun with it!
Cheers,
Jamie
