Kevin , climbing a hill is working against Gravity , are you wanting to go faster as you climb the hill you shift to a harder gear..


to go fast the air had to be pushed out of the way..

Mass at rest takes energy to accelerate it. weigh everything.. its math .. go for it. calculate .. Newton is a start.

'gear' is a ratio x wheel diameter , same gear F:R in a smaller wheel is a lower one..




Heavy duty tube + puncture resistant tire of small diameter , Vs the super light rims and tires on a pro racing bike though larger

too many variables for a Blanket Generalization ..
