chris13 Posted July 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 well my adress has 3 places on it lol, reading, wokingham, winnersh, im in winnersh. i live in sherwood grange wich backs onto winnersh triangle industial estate. i would have thought 18 15 would be best? 18 16 sounds a bit low i thought on a 26 the ratio i ment to be 1.2 (drive gear devided by rear sprocket/ free wheel), and 20" needs to be 1.5 cos of the diference in wheel size?
