Lord Banks Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 It looks around about a 38/18 gear ratio, about a 2.11 gear ratio.If you've got a mountain bike (or know someone who has) put it the front gear on the second chainring and the back gear on (about) the 5th/6th gear and it will give you a (very) rough idea.Without knowing how many teeth are on each gear its hard to know, but it looks like it would be alright for cruising about, bit harder than a typical bmx gearing probably.But, its dead easy to change the gearing if its too hard/light for what you need.
