forteh Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 18/16 is 1.125:1 ratio.22/18 is 1.122:1 ratio.Slightly harder but the closest you will get Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigman Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 18/16 is 1.125:1 ratio.22/18 is 1.122:1 ratio.Slightly harder but the closest you will get Sorry Ed, but 22-18 is 1.22:1 so alot harder, Closest that i would go for is 22-19 which is 1.157:1 as 22-20 is 1.1:1 so abit easier......Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sstein Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 But if you look at it 22/18 is the closest gear ratio to 18/16, certainly much closer than 22/19 I concur (or conquer depending on my mood). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
