SamKidney Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Usual goes - 20" = 18t front ring/freewheel / Rear 12t sprocket/freehub 24" = 18t front ring/freewheel / rear 14t sprocket/freehub 26" = 18t front ring/freewheel / rear 15t sprocket/freehub That seems to be the "standard" anyway, many run whatever feels right to themselves.

Any rear sprockets you could recommend? And what's the splined mean? And screw on? Just so I don't go buying something that won't work well haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Splined's your more usual MTB setup, sprocket slides onto a freehub/boss on the hub and then held in place by a lock ring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
