Gear Restrictions

Gear restrictions apply to all junior cyclists in events conducted under AusCycling regulations, both on the road and track.

 

The restrictions referred to is the distance one revolution of the crank arm will propel the bicycle, this is known as the 'roll out'.

​

The gear restrictions apply to each of the following member categories:

 

Junior Under 19 = 7.93 metres

Junior Under 17 = 7.0 metres

Junior Under 15 = 6.00 metres

Junior Under 13 = 5.50 metres

Junior Under 11 = 5.50 metres

​

MCC also provide an online rollout calculator to help estimate your rollout.

All competitors are required to satisfy a roll out for all junior events.

​

Note: 

 

All juniors are required to adhere to roll outs no matter the event. So for example an under 17 rider, riding in a local criterium in say B Grade must still adhere to the roll out rule.

 

This is only relaxed at the U19 level for track events where U19 riders may use open gearing..

​

Blocking out of gears is not allowed at National level.
