Re: 3.73 Gears

If all you have is the ring, then "they" aren't ANY ratio.

What's the sound of one hand clapping?

It takes 2 to make a ratio.

3.73 is 11 on the pinion and 41 on the ring.

If all you have is a ring but you don't have the pinion that was matched to it at the time it was made, then you have just some useless garbage.

Numbers are stamped on the ring and pinion: 41 : 11 = 3.73 But....well, sofa beat me to the rest.
