Needs more power

Hey folk,

So this is something I had never really thought about in the past but I am beginning to think it might be limiting my improvements. Whats the norm in terms of gearing for trials?

I'm just doing the usual sorta noob stuff, bouncing around on rocks and at parks trying to improve my skills and get higher, so pretty much street riding. Had a count of the teeth today and I am running 15 on the back and 18 on the front. I've always felt like its too lower geared? Would I be correct? And what would be a fab set up for me be?

just a quick question from the same topic

I have a 24 bike, its street trial

I run on 160 cranks, 18-13 gear ratio, and it seems really high for me

What should I do?

Get 14 on the back, or just practice and work out till I can handle 18-13?

160 is pretty small for a 24. But you have a street bike so harder gearing is more common, get used to the 18:13 :) x
