(...) That makes a lot of sense. The configurations I was coming up with in my head, tended to duplicate ratio's I already had. Steve (18 years ago, 21-Dec-06, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Is it something like the front and rear sprockets of a 10+ speed bike? I know there are frequently duplications of gear ratios there. (18 years ago, 22-Dec-06, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Yeah I suppose it would be, because you would have two different sets of gears that could both be changed. So in that way they'd be the same. The trick is to not duplicate ratio's because that's a waste. (18 years ago, 22-Dec-06, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Yes, and keep in mind that the advantage with an 18speed transmission that I described in my last post,is that you could go through your low gears without splitting them, flick into high range and split whichever gears you want...gives you (...) (18 years ago, 23-Dec-06, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Mechanically, I would think of the splitter as an additional gearbox. Using the same example Maico gave, you have a 4-speed plus reverse gearbox. The splitter would be simply an additional 2-speed gearbox. Suppose the ratios in the 4-speed (...) (18 years ago, 8-Jan-07, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

Hello All, Nice and correct description, Luis. A range changer would have a ratio of 1:4 in this example. (16z/16z and 32z/8z) A Splitter would have a ratio of 1: 1.25. (16z/16z and 16z/12z) Hmm, these ratios are a little bit hard to build though... (...) (18 years ago, 8-Jan-07, to lugnet.technic)
