Read this one, you contradict yourself. How can it do nothing to power output, yet change the torque? It just uses the torque more quickly.

Just as the bike can potentially produce the same amount of peak power regardless of which gear it's in, it will also produce the same power before and after a sprocket change. The torque at the back wheel will just be a little higher, and the rotational speed of the back wheel will be a little lower.
Man, with both my bikes out of commission I almost wished for snow today!

Of course changes in elevation, wind, grade, gross weight, tire pressure, fuel quality, size of the coat you're wearing, etc., etc. can all change what your optimal top speed gear ratio would be.
