All I have been able to find is how to calculate the ratio of two gears, but near to nothing on more. I saw one thread where a guy kinda explained how it's done, involving multiplying one number by another, but i found that very confusing.
Kept looking for a little bit, and either found nothing, calculators that were way too complicated for me, or very vague explanations on how its done.
Could someone care to elaborate/point me in the right direction?
That, and i need to find a variable for such a situation:
I have 6 teeth on my engine sprocket, which goes to a jack shaft that has X amount of teeth. From the jack shaft, i have a sprocket with 13 teeth, which leads to a tire of 24" that has a sprocket with 47 teeth. How many teeth do i need for sprocket X to achieve a ratio of 1:13~1:16 (Or whatever is recommended for a chainsaw bicycle. I heard some say 1:14-1:15, others as low as 1:18, and others as high as 1:10)
Thanks!
