Cadence Calculator

Reverse calculates pedaling cadence required to maintain a specific speed in any chosen gear combination.

Formula & Mechanics

Cadence (RPM) = Speed (m/min) / Development (m)

Cadence pedaling action on bicycle road ride

Required Pedaling RPM for Target Speed

1. Drivetrain Setup

Chainrings & Cassette

Chainrings (Teeth)

Cassette Sprockets (Teeth)

2. Wheel & Tire Model

Dimensions & Rollout

Select Preset Tire Size

Calculated wheel dimensions are theoretical estimates. Actual rollout varies with tire pressure, rim inner width, and rider weight. Use measured rollout for highest accuracy.

Gear Matrix

Chainrings (rows) vs Sprockets (columns). Color scale indicates range from lowest to highest.
