math will tell you how big a gear you want in front.. knowing the gears you use on your other bike.


another concept a 3 speed Internal Gear hub. and 2 chainrings Rear D becomes a chain tensioner , that lever can be used to shift the hub.

The internal gear hub sounds interesting but I don't know if it's suitable for a road bike'like setup. Very neat though. I like hte idea of the 2 cog freewheel. The bike currently uses a freewheel, but 6 cogs.
