Soon to be Rowan Johns Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 I love how it says "topic description" when, you make a new topic. Do i have to describe what gear ratios are?Anyway, that was a bit off topic.Can someone recomend a good gear ratio, because mine's really high, and I was thinking of lowering it, but i don't know what to.CheersAymon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Banks Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 The key is to finding the one that feels the best, you've just got to try a few different combos out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

braderzz.p Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 I think the usual gearing is 18 teeth on the front and 12 teeth on the back its not to heavy and its not to light and i think that is the normal gearing because all my friends have that gearing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or 22:16? Edited December 17, 2009 by Mikey-uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pogo Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 18:12 is mainly for mods and I think it'd be VERY strange to see it on a stock.Stocks is normally 22:18? Or 22:16?Stock ratios can be 22:18, 18:16/15 and i think 16:14 but another factor is the crank length as the shorter the crank the heavier the gearing will feel.

Daniel Gray Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 epic screen name. However i ride 18:15 which is fairly standard in the stock world these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
