[QUOTE="primo, post: 1740986, member: 15123"] Also, it might sound funny, but since gears are a torque multiplier, it's similar to adding a lower pulley without the extra strain on the eaton. Granted, you are not making any more power, but your wheels will feel the gobs of torque. I think of it like this. Get on a 10 speed and try to pedal in 10th gear. Hard right? now try to pedal in 5th. It's much easier on you, less strain, and less calories are consumed. Senario #2. Put Lance Armstrong on the line in 10th gear. Then put string bean billy in 5th gear. The starting gun fires, I bet string bean billy pulls a couple "bike lengths" on Lance off the line. Thats what a gear change does, puts you in 5th gear on a 10 speed so to speak. [/QUOTE]
