| Jun 30, 2021 at 16:39 | comment | added | Fred Larson | One way to look at it if you ride a bicycle: how hard is it to get started in high gear, or to climb a hill in high gear? How is cruising on a flat stretch in a low gear vs. a high gear? It is very similar for propeller pitch in airplanes. A single speed bike is much like an airplane with a fixed-pitch propeller -- a compromise. | |
