Skorp Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 (edited) Hi I'm building a new bike, and im going to use middleburns and a chris king at the back. I'm considering to use 16-13 or 18-15.. How do you guys think it is to ride with 16-13? I have only had 18-15 before, but i have tried 16-13 and it felt strange. Had a spongy feeling to it compared to bigger cogs. I have also tried 22-18 and that feels solid compared to 18-15. EDIT: I'm thinking abouth the feeling and not the gear ratio, as all the ratios above is quite similar.

ghostrider88 Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 Is this a 26" bike your talking about? Based on the ratios he picked and the fact he has koxx carbon,I would say yes?BTW 21:18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 (edited) How do you guys think it is to ride with 16-13? I can only imagine it would be like having sex with a rock - really difficult and uncomfortable. And heavy. To answer the question in the topic - 17:15. Only because it's super cool to have an odd number of teeth on both the front and rear sprockets.
