Gear Overlap Calculator?

[Smithy]

I once had a spreadsheet that calculated the various overlapping gear rations for the 3 chain rings
and the 9 gear cassette. Does one still exist?

thanks

Try the "gearchart.xls" spreadsheet on Alex Wetmore's bicycle pages: http://phred.org/~alex/bikes/

All over the place!

You don't even need a spreadsheet program any more. You can do it on the web:

And that's only of them. Google "gear ratio calculator" and I'm sure you'll find several.

Besides the other excellent suggestions already given, there's also a "Free Gear Ratio Calculator"
(for Windows) at http://www.techmarc.co.uk/gearcalc.htm

I think what I had\was a little simpler. I misrepresented the question I think.

What I had was a REDUNDANT gear calculator. It visually showed which gears were similar at the
change points. I knew that if I dropped from middle/5 to granny/7 that I would be keeping the
same cadence.

thanks
