loser Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 18:15 would feel pretty similar to the gearing your using currently.Maybe try 18:16 see if you prefer that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cai Posted October 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 which would be slitly higher 18:15 or 18:16?because i'll go with that 1! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orgun_Donor Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 18:15 is harder and 18:16 is just nicer all round(in my opinion and im running 18:16 at the moment) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max-t Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 I feel the same as Darren really ^^^^.18 16 will feel more like 18 12 on mod because its easier than 18 15. But obviously for taps and moves you need to getsome speed up 18 15 will favour. However, i find that running a 16t on the back benefits for power moves like gaps and sidehops. I tried 18 15 but definately didnt like it as much as 18 16. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bousfield19 Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 im running a 16 12 on my stock at the moment with 116 spacing and im really getting on that but a freind of mine used to ride mod has got 18 15 on his 26" stock with 116 spacing and he finds that a good gearing and very similar to his mod but i cant remember what his mod was running Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fyfey Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 Im running 18:16 on my 116mm spacing Echo Control. Feels really nice for everything... considering trying out 18:15 though just for some extra beef. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskimo Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 I'm running 18/15 with an Eno. Alot nicer than my freehub that i was using. I tried 18/16 and damn it's the worse thing i ever did. I'd happily go with 18/14 as well for a try, i still find a lack of power with 18/15 when riding into a tap. That's on 170mm cranks by the way.

The Duck Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 When i went stock from a mod, i ended up at 18 17. Feels the best for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
