No, it does not . Just Knowing the number of cogs on the gears or the ratio ,which is the same thing does ,not give the sequential gear order the way that the gear inch number does . And it seems more like you are trying to be a wise guy than trying to be helpful . But whatever . New information is hard for some to wrap their brains around . Go with what you think you know . I don't care .
