I’m comparing gear ratios of 2 hybrids and would be grateful for your advice. I’ve not ridden them myself.
I’m trying to see how much of a practical difference there is between the lowest gearing (to make hill climbs easiest).
Trek
18 gears
Shimano MT210, 46/30
Cassette Shimano HG200 11-36 9speed
Whyte
Sunrace 11speed
42T
Shimano SLX SL M7000 11 speed
I don’t know which of the following apply
11-13-15-17-19-21-24-27-31-35-40**T (bs), 11-13-15-17-19-21-24-28-32-37-42**T (bt), 11-13-15-17-19-21-24-28-32-37**-46**T (bu)
Both have the same 700 x 40c wheel/tyre size combo
Is it compare
Trek 30 to 36 = 1.2
With
Whyte 42 x 42= 1.0
Which makes the trek much easier for steep hills - does that sound right?
