Where Is That Next Gear?
If you use more than one chain ring during your ride it is useful
to know before hand where the next gear, up or down, really is.
Enter your specifications (wheel size in inches) and the calculator
applies some limited smarts to find where the gear shift points are.
 
The UpShft and DnShft columns display the change relative to the gear shifted from.
 
The Gear column is adjusted to show the shift pattern across the chain rings.
( intermediate ratios are not considered - the nearest whole ratio is the next gear )
