isitafox Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 Definately too big on the front mate, I run an 18t front and 15t on the rear from advice I got on here and I find it absolutely perfect. This is coming from a 22t front and 7 speed rear cassette so was quite different but I can't recommend it highly enough! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isitafox Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 Can either get just a 22t sprocket to fit on your cranks and ask if anyone on here knows what would be a good combo on the rear or if you plan on gettin a proper trials rig setup I'd get new cranks, front sprocket and bashring sorted. From my personal experience I'd recommend TartyBikes for that stuff, really quick with deliveries and stuff and if your not sure what you need they're very helpful on the phone an can give you some good advice!
