Sounds good guys. Thanks a lot

Taking the cassette out of the equation it's basically the single speed problem. 40 front, 20 rear 34 front, 14 rear Same velocity ratio. But does the smaller front ring apply a different amount of torque to the rear

Both. Let's assume I have a 38t now. I swap to a 34 and have a theoretical cassette that leaves the same ratios. Velocity ratios being the same, the only tangible change being the smaller front sprocket. Does the smaller sprocket alone lead to an increase in torque?

Sounds good. Thanks for the info

Yeah my question was about mechanical leverage. For that given velocity ratio vs the other, does either provide a change in mechanical leverage, advantage, etc

Thanks a lot. That's what I figured but it still lingered.

Hey guys, I read through the other two bicycle gearing threads and to be quite frank I'm not sure if my question was answered. So to put it in it's most basic element, let's assume there's only one change, the gearing. Same bike, same crank length, pedal input, wheelsize, chain length. And...
