Just keep this in mind. The gear ratio's on the gears themselves (ie 3.55 3.73 4.10 4.30 etc etc) are mechanical ratios determined by PHYSICS. It's ASSUMED (and we all know about that) that if you run a 26" tire, you're right on the money with your mechanical gear ratio.

LOWER numerical gear ratio is actually a HIGHER ratio. This is where most guys get confused. Physically speaking, a 3.55 is a higher gear than a 4.10 With me?
