Cadence Formula
Given
gearing (48 x 16)
wheelsize (700 x 23c)
and
speed (say 20 mph)
what's the formula to calculate cadence? (assuming it can be derived this way)

This should be good for a laugh. This is how a math-impaired musician approaches it:
48x16= 81 inch gear (assume 27" wheel), x pi = 21.195 ft. developed gear.
21.195 feet is .0040142 miles
20 miles divided by .0040142 miles = 4982.3 pedal revolutions, divided by 60 minutes = 83 RPM
Howd I do?

There is a spreadsheet called: GearSpeedAdvancedWorksheet.xls
Whoever put it together covered all the bases. If you want to see the formulas rather than the results, you do the following keystroke combo: CNTL + ` (that last character is the farthest left most upper key on a standard PC keyboard).
