joshlyd1 Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 Hiyya all , im building up as stock as some of you may know , i am wondering whats the most popular gearing and crank length and what they feel like . What gearing are you using ? What crank length are you using ? effects ( e.g Hardish , light etc ) ? Your opinion ? This is for stock 26" , and i will be using a freehub , i have come from mod so i dont really know the gearings except 18:12 which i know will be useless on stock . all help greatly appreciated thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borat Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 18:15 175mm cranks sorted! x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
in_aww Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 Yeah, 18:15 with 175 is pretty common. In fact most of the new horizontal drop frames will, for the most part, only let you run 18:15. Granted there are a few (some Echos) which are designed for 18:16 which feels a little lighter but not a significant difference in the end.
