With the 32 tooth low I'm upgrading to, I'm getting 5 extra gear inches
Was calculating for an mtb on 26 inch wheels like the OP has... so hah.
Wheel size has to be factored in the calculation as the same gearing on a bigger wheel yields a higher range while smaller wheels will decrease this.
Again... hah.
