His kind of road bikes are geared, so he has a lot of ratios to choose from. A typical range for a road bike would be 12-25 at the rear and 53-39 at the front, giving a highest ratio of 53/12 and a lowest ratio of 39/25. For a mountainous race he can change to larget sprockets at the rear and smaller chainrings at the front. Something like 50-34 at the front and 12-27 rear.

Does Lance Armstrong use a low gear or high gear?
Both, and several inbetween. The gear is chosen to get the same pedalling effort regardless if the course is uphill, flat or downhill at the moment.Ans 2 - Most pro riders will use all the gears necesary to maintain a good 'spin' speed. (rpm of the crank )
What are the uses of Gears?
,gears are used in a bicycle to paddle less and and to gain more speed It is also used in hills because there are steep slopes and if we put it in gear we have to paddle less. Mukul Thakur shimla
What is lance armstrongs fastest speed?
During flat time trials Lance maintains a cadence of 100-115 rpm. He is using a lower gear than most other cyclists, but is pedaling faster than them. Rather than using leg power and sheer muscle strength (as did all the early competitive cyclists throughout the 1900s up until the time of Miguel "Big Mig" Indurain), Armstrong relies on superior cardio fitness to carry him through the mountains. Nowadays, the only cyclists who mash huge gears are the ones with very muscular legs, Jan Ullrich being a prime example. Lances climbing cadence is different however around 80-85rpm, but up to 100rpm when attacking on a long solo breakaway when the gradient lessens during a climbing attack. One reason why Jan and Lance were so exciting to watch together: they had such different styles-and so lance 'looked' faster than yan or any climbers, though he was only going marginally quicker than them...
