| Re: What's your highest cycling speed on flat? "victor" wrote  clip)...How do you figue rpm?^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Arithmetic. Measure your wheel diameter.* Multiply by pi to get circumference. Divide into 5280 (feet per mile) to get wheel RPM. Divide by your gear ratio (chainring teeth/cog teeth. *Get this in feet. Measure in inches and divide by 12, or cm and divide by 30.48) |
