Road speed wey theory predict

—

E assume wheel no slip and loaded wheel circumference correct; wind and slopes affect the power wey you need.

Health inputs stay for this tab. Link sharing no dey available.

Formula

Use v = c(F/R)C×0.06. c na cadence for revolutions per minute, F and R na front and rear tooth counts, and C na loaded wheel circumference for m. Speed v dey for km/h.

Use pedal speed and gear ratio find road speed wey theory predict.

Example wey show the calculation

Pedal turning speed (rpm)
90
Teeth for front chainring
50
Teeth for back sprocket
25
Distance wheel cover for one full turn (m)
2.1
Road speed wey theory predict
22.68 km/h
Distance for one full pedal turn
4.2 m

Where e fit work and limits

We check inputs for missing values and allowed ranges. Result wey pass the finite numeric range no go show. Rounding affect wetin display, while calculation use the model numeric precision.

Check your units and assumptions before you rely on result. Changing label no convert currency or physical unit.
