Pashley26 Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 Just a few questions really:You'll need a mech hanger for an 07 Control, for an 07 Control....And 160's *should* be ok, it's all personal preference, I was running 175's but I'm quite tall and prefer more leverage on the cranks. And the gearings a personal thing again, try it out and raise and lower the sprocket size to get the right amount of speed and acceleration needed.

Mikee Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 What mech hanger do I need for an 07 control? Don't know sorryWhat gear ratio should I be running (I have an 18t surly on the front)? 18:15 or 18:16 (probably 18:16 if you want small cranks) Will my 160mm cranks be ok on stock? It's down to preference, if that's what you find comfortable it will be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1337 Trials Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 What about 175mm cranks with a 22t chainring on the front? (middleburn cranks) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sstein Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 It is likely that the hanger you need is this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harmertrials Posted March 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 So I should go for either a 15/16t on the back?As for the mech hanger i'm refering to which one off tarty.Thanks guys.It is likely that the hanger you need is this!I'm a bit concerned about buying that considering it says (echo control 04/05).

Pashley26 Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 I'm a bit concerned about buying that considering it says (echo control 04/05).Well look at your hanger and see if it has a K stamped into it and matches that one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forteh Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 If youre using 160mm cranks then I would recommend 22/19, 18/16 or 16/14 for your ratio on stock; 18/15 is recommended on 175 cranks. Personally I run 16/14 and it feels just about perfect with 165mm middleburns 22/19 and 16/14 both give 1.14:1 ratio, whereas 18/16 give 1.125:1 which is alittle lighter. If 22/19 or 16/14 is too light but 18/15 is too heavy then try 20/17 as this will be just about inbetween the two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harmertrials Posted March 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 All those numbers have sent my head into a spin.Basically, i'm sticking with my front 18t, because she aint coming off... So you reccomend a 16t on the back yeah? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookyboy Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 Its a k hanger you needi would recomend 175 cranks ideallyand 18:15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harmertrials Posted March 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 Its a k hanger you needi would recomend 175 cranks ideallyand 18:15Thanks matey, i'll get one ordered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forteh Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 Its a k hanger you needi would recomend 175 cranks ideallyand 18:15But buying new cranks is an expense when you already have some 18/16 would be my choice in your position, personally I find it a touch light with 165 cranks so with 160s it might be ok, possibly alittle hard though.

Alex Dark Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 for the record, i think tahts ab 06 control frameLook on tarty/email tarty for the correct mech hanger160's should be fine, although a lighter gear-ratio would be preferable with thesetypically 18:16 or 18:15, although with shorter cranks i'd go with 18:16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1337 Trials Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 Quick question (sorry for thread steeling but it is related) If there was a 18t front freewheel on a stock what cog would you reccomend on the rear so it felt like the ratio of 18:12 on a mod?
