Bike chains are connected to cogs at back and front; hence always integer ratios, between the rates of rotation of the crank and the rear wheel.

I understand that the ancient Greeks had used interlocking cog mechanisms, as is supported by recent archeological discoveries.

Could these apparently unrelated facts have influenced conceptual thinking about tuning?
