Efneo’s GTRO
Gear ratios and shifting
GTRO’s 1st gear is neutral (1:1). Second and third gears are incremental. On 2nd gear chainring rotates 43% quicker than on 1st gear. On 3rd gear chainring rotates 79% quicker than on 1st gear. This way you can easily calculate real chainring size on each gear.
For any other chainring or beltring, follow the same scheme to calculate 2nd and 3rd gear size.
