2-Speed vs 1-Speed drivetrain

YES! I am a MENTOR. Not a chaperone. I am busy all day, I don't want to deal with the stupidity that may or may not go on at night. Besides, I might see something as a cool physics experiment, where a chaperone might see someone dropping pop cans down the stair wells. - Not2B [more]

Re: 2-Speed vs 1-Speed drivetrain

They don't.

Assuming they're under identical conditions acceleration rate is dictated by gear ratio. Lower gear ratio = faster acceleration, higher gear ratio = slower acceleration. A single speed drivetrain does accelerate faster, a lower gearing does.
