Jackk-08 Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 Right, I have medium understanding of bikes but I want my set up to be really good to get the most out of my bike so i was wondering if someone could help me I have Zoo Pitbull '07 and I want a full new crank and sprockets. I was thinking of getting a 170mm crank with a 18:15 tooth ratio. Does that sound any good? I'm getting a bit confused with free wheels and stuff you see. I have a splined rear hub if that make any difference. I would appreicate any help what so ever! Sorry for all my rambling! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aener Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 That's what (I'd estimate) 90% of stock riders use. The other 10% will run an alternative with a very similar gear-inch output - 16:13 etc. 18:15 will do you absolutely perfect, and 170's will be fine. Personally - I can't tell the difference between 165's and 175's. If it IS a tad hard/light - you'll adjust to it pretty damned quick anyway.

Jackk-08 Posted July 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 I just want to know if I buy a screw on front sprocket but a free hub on the back will that work because I don't know the difference between free and fixed rear hubs haha I was thinking it was like if you have a free rear hub you should have a screw one front sprocket but if you have a fixed rear hub you should have a freewheel on the front am I right or not haha hope that made sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
