Chain Transmission Sprocket
Bike/Car Gear Confusion?
i'm just starting to learn about cars but i get confused about transmissions. I am trying to learn about how gears, gear ratios, transmission, etc. work by comparing them to a bike because from what I understand, on a VERY basic level, they're the same thing. When i did this i realized i don't fully know how bike gears work. I know how to shift gears when riding, when to shift, what gear to shift to and all that.
-Question ->But what i don't get at all is how shifting the chain to different gears(moving the chain to different sprockets) affects how hard or easy it is to pedal.
Ok, this is going to be really hard to explain, but ill try =]
so on a bike if you have the chain on the smallest gear at the front and the biggest at the back, when you pedal its going to be fast and you wont go very far- this is good for going up hills. and the opposite is true eg when you have the chain on the biggest sprocket on the front and the smallest on the back its going to be hard to pedal but you'll go fast.
An easy way to think about it is how many chain links pass over the front sprocket in one rotation. if the sprocket is small one rotation won't pull as much chain as one rotation of the bigger sprocket and, obviously, the more chain you pull the more the wheel turns. The back sprockets are just there to add more adjustment to the ratios
