dirt jumper jake Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 Hey, ive only just changed to 18 - 15 on my limey, after running 18 - 16 for ages and was struggling to get any decent height backwheels or sidehops, so i put the 15t on thinking it would help, but to be honest i have noticed and difference. im running 175mm cranks, so if i were to get some 165mm mod cranks, surely this would help a bit? cheers, jake.

Yeah i run 158's on my mod so i suppose im used to harder gearing, but im also running a king on the back rather than a ffw, so that could also have something to do with it?

super Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 If 18-15 works fine for the likes of gilles, giacoma and almost everybody else in the trials world then i think it might just be a question of using the right technique. Keep practising-you'll get used to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pogo Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 I run 165 burns on my coust, 18 15 with a king on the rear, you certainly notice the difference in power but you do have to put a bit more in to get the static moves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
