Dan81 Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 ...what are most people using? I like the lighter gearing but wonder if I should put the effort in and try to get used to 15t? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otacon Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 18:16 is the best gear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eskimo Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 18/16 is evil. At one point i found 18/15 too low. That was 170mm cranks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orgun_Donor Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 18:16 here. Mod Stock with 170mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al_Fel Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 18:15 feels nice if you've got a high bb +30mm or more. You've got to have 175 cranks too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 My mate runs 18:16, I can't even ride his bike it's so low, whenever I got to tap I end up taking off miles away from the wall. I run 16:13 because I'm a spaz, no-one else likes it really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I run 16:13 because I'm a spaz, no-one else likes it really.im running 16-13 i think thats the best gearing, although my 74 kingz didnt really like that so i have moved to 16-14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan81 Posted May 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 18:15 feels nice if you've got a high bb +30mm or more. You've got to have 175 cranks too.my cranks are 175 but its only a +10 bb so it looks like I might be better sticking with 18:16?.....I just find 15t hard to push for some stuff (must have puny legs) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben John-Hynes Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 I've recently moved from 18:16 to :15. Best. Decision. Ever. My riding's got bigger and my back wheel control has improved! Good shizzleizzle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
