As long as one has sufficiently lax standards for both precision and
accuracy then that calculator might fit the bill. I guess I expect too

The original post had Ralph thinking that a certain tire size change was
equivalent to a certain gearing change and the error in that was much
greater than just the errors common to many calculator programs. Maybe
he will figure out where he went wrong.
