Lance and other Pro's Gearing

fixed said:

Ok...

so lately i've been curious when i read that lance spins 100-110rpms in TT's what gear is he pushing? does anyone have this kind of info? or for any of the other pros what gears they use....like when lance was TTing dHuez what sort of gear was he spinning

fix

Looked like 39/23 (13 mph @ 100 rpm) to me
Anyone have a link to verified data?

I don't have the exact info, but you could use this gear roll-out chart to figure out (roughly) the gears, if you know the revs and the speed.

Unfortunately this chart doesn't have a 54, 55, or 56 tooth rings, which some of the pros use for time trials.

eg: 50kmh at 110rpm

50kmh = 50,000 metres/hr = 833.33 metres/minute

833.33/110rpm = 7.575 meters per rev.

so, 7.575m is closest to the 53/15 gear

I understood that there would be no math involved in this forum.😉
