Bicycle cadence-speed table calculator

Calculate speed table [front teeth,rear teeth,cadence rpm,speed km/h] with your own figures.

Your numbers

Use the units shown. Results update as you change valid inputs.

Use speed table [front teeth,rear teeth,cadence rpm,speed km/h] to compare changes to your inputs. The method and limits below explain the scope.

Calculation method

Calculation method

Speed table [front teeth,rear teeth,cadence rpm,speed km/h]

For each front/rear pair and cadence from min to max inclusive at step: speed=cadence*(front/rear)*rollout*60/1000.

Symbols and units
a
Front chainring tooth counts (teeth)
b
Rear sprocket tooth counts (teeth)
c
Measured wheel rollout (m/revolution)
d
Lowest cadence (crank rpm)
e
Highest cadence (crank rpm)
f
Cadence increment (rpm)

Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.

Assumptions & limits

Assumptions & limits

  • Ideal kinematics with measured loaded rollout; ignores slip, tire deflection changes, transmission losses and rider ability. Supported limits: Positive integer tooth counts; rollout>0; integer 0<=min<=max<=300; step>=1; <=5000 generated rows.
