i am trying to figure out about the numbers on gears. I tried a search but i got everything else. if my gears say 15/41. what does that mean. what is the gear ratio? i am just trying to see what i have and understand it a little more. thanks

Just take the high number and devide it by the low number. so 41 devided by 15 = 2.73.
