Want A Heavier Gearing But Need Some Advice

[mr_malcolm]

atm i think i am running 22-18 but im bored if it being fairly light, i am considering going for a higher gear ratio somethin like 22-14/15 just woundering if any one else has/does run this set up?

if so what is it like, still ok for trials use or would it be to heavy?

22:15 would be far too heavy, try dropping the rear sprocket to a 17 - it will make more difference than you think

edit: thats assuming youre talking about stock :$

static will be so hard.

i'm running 20/16 at the mo. just nice. still find it a little hard static. but only just getting used to it.

but you, try 17, see how it goes. personal choice at end of day.

(I used to run 20/19 in all of my vids 2008!!!!)

i think danny mac uses 22/15?

i had 22 - 17 felt nice bit ended swaping down to 22 - 16 for a little heavier feel but ended up snaping the sprocket of the freewheel (ouch)
