Ben John-Hynes Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 As saidSingle speed would be better,as there's less weight and less to go wrong!Most stock riders run 18-16. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karl Butcher Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 Well its up to you what gear you run really! single speed would be better! i run 18-14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marten@ScandinavianTrials Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 18:17 and 158mm cranksEveryone who thinks that's mad should try it.Indeed it sounds mad. But I guess the short cranks make it work.Not reply to that:My 22-18 is just because I fancy running an integrated crankset (HT2 sort of, but not Shimano...). But the ratio still ends up pretty close to 18:15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sstein Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 The gearing that you run is a really personal choice and other people do not always have the best answer for this sort of thing, for trials it is adviseable to have a rather low speed/high acceleration gearing to allow pedal kicks and the like but just how low is up to you. Some things to remember when choosing gearing are:-How far you will ride in between spots.-The style of riding that you are doing.-What you feel comfertable riding with (this is the most important)Singlespeed is great as there are less things to go wrong with it, however gears allow you to change ratios depending on what you need at the time. I personally run a 22:18 singlespeed set up with 175mm cranks, this may seem odd to some people but it is what I feel comfertable with so it is what I use.Just try to find what is right for you and not what some one else uses.

forteh Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 (edited) Im running 18-16 on my stock, only just changed from 22-16 (too high) so still trying to work out if Id be better suited to 18-15.Riding between spots doesnt bother me edit: running 165 middleburns Edited March 31, 2008 by forteh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 18-15's where it's at with 175 cranks... When I first got my stock a few years back I PM'd Neil Tunnicliffe to find out what ratio he ran... if it's good enough for him it's good enough for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecols Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Riding 18-14 with 175mm cranks, of course singlespeed, even tensionerless (just took some material of the dropouts).. good acceleration.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisss Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Personally i think it might be best for you to experiment with singlespeed, as the gearing changes are a lot more precise. I used to run 18-12 i think on my onza t-vee, but now i've got a stock im not too sure what to run, and as it is modstock it makes it a bit more confusing. Any suggestions?

tobiasmaxximus Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 I run a slightly different setup on my stock--> i run a fixed dmr revolver hub with a try-all 108.9 freewheel in 18 tooth with a 20 tooth upfront with 175 length crank arms.
