psycholist Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 18:15 is pretty popular. One tooth either side of that is common enough. A 13T sprocket with a 16T freewheel is the closest gear to that ratio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob L Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 18:15 seems quite good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncy H Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 I haven't really tryed anything else but i run 18:16 with 165mm cranks which to me is just right. It is probably very similar to 18:15 with longer cranks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Dark Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 18:16 with 170mm cranks, or 18:15 with 175 cranks....thats what i run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tha Goat Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 I run 20:16 with 165mm cranks, although at one point I was running 20:14 with 165mm cranks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
