a speed gearing calculator

[dhuze]

i was playing around with a gearing speed calculator. If i got my gearing right i can do 2,704,979.82 mph with a 5000 tooth front sprocket and a 1 tooth rear

think about it... you would go zero mph with a 1 tooth rear, no matter how many teeth you have up front, once the sprocket is turned 180° the only tooth would be in a forward position and never make contact with the chain again..

i know that but if i wanted to come close again i would need a 2 tooth rear and a 9000 tooth front and that is just being ridiculous
i am counting on centrifical force and inertia
