Bicycle Gear Options
Standard Double
The standard double is best
suited to racing at high
speeds but is not ideal for
riding in lower gears for any
length of time.
Triple
Triple gears provide parings
that give a very low gear ratio,
making them best suited for
cycling in hilly areas or for
touring with baggage.
There are several different options when it comes to bike gears,
with the best option being the one that is best suited to the
type of riding the cyclist is most likely to do.

Compact
Compact gears are a smaller
variation of the standard
double but are better for lower
end gearing due to the reduced
gear ratio.
SRAM Apex
SRAM Apex gears have
a broader range of gears
including an extra low bottom
gear and a larger top gear and
reduce the need for gearing.
Hub Gears
Hub gears are low maintenance
and robust, making them a
great choice for everyday
commuter cyclists.

extra dynamic to a compact
gear ratio for an extra low gear.
