Gear ratios information about different models of Strida

For a more precise calculation, the size of the tyres used on 16" wheeled Stridas is 16 x 1.50 or 40-305 in ETRTO system.
According to the tyre circumference cross reference table on the instruction manual of my cyclocomputer, the actual circumference of a 16 x 1.50 (40-305) sized tyre should be 1185mm. Then, the actual diameter should be 1185 ÷ 25.4 ÷ π = 14.85".
Therefore, the actual gear ratio of Strida 1, Strida 2, Strida 3, Strida 5 and Strida LT is 14.85" × 100 ÷ 30 = 49.5 gear inches.

In the case of Strida Mini, the size of the tyres is 14 x 1.50 or 40-254 in ETRTO system. The circumference of the tyres is 1020mm. Then, the actual diameter is 1020 ÷ 25.4 ÷ π = 12.78". Therefore, the actual gear ratio of Strida Mini should be 12.78" × 88 ÷ 30 = 37.5 gear inches.

However, Strida Mini uses shorter crank arms compared with a normal sized Strida with 170mm crank length so the gear ratio feeled by the rider will be higher than the actual gear ratio. :confused:

On Strida SX with Innova tyres, the size of the tyres is 18 x 1.35 or 35-355 in ETRTO system. The circumference of the tyres is 1325mm. Then, the actual diameter is 1325 ÷ 25.4 ÷ π = 16.6". Therefore, the actual gear ratio should be 16.6" × 100 ÷ 30 = 55.3 gear inches.

On Strida SX with Schwalbe Kojak tyres, the size of the tyres is 18 x 1.25 or 32-355 in ETRTO system. The circumference of the tyres is 1315mm. Then, the actual diameter is 1315 ÷ 25.4 ÷ π = 16.48". Therefore, the actual gear ratio should be 16.48" × 100 ÷ 30 = 54.9 gear inches.

On Strida SD and the MAS Special Edition, the actual gear ratio in low gear is 14.85" x 80 ÷ 30 = 39.6 gear inches and the actual gear ratio in high gear is 14.85" x 80 x 1.65 ÷ 30 = 65.3 gear inches.

On Strida equipped with speed-drive and 18" wheels (with Schwalbe Kojak tyres), the actual gear ratio in low gear is 16.48" x 80 ÷ 30 = 43.9 gear inches and the actual gear ratio in high gear is 16.48" x 80 x 1.65 ÷ 30 = 72.5 gear inches.
