Scott Gibbs Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 What's the best ratio for a street 26? I've got 22-18 with 175mm cranks and feels rather light. What do you guys run? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aldred_85 Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 Thats what i used to run on my Zebdi 'back in the day'. Maybe one tooth less if your find it too light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross McArthur Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 I asked Ben Travis if my shoes matched my hat and he gave me the same answer. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanczik Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 (edited) ok so 22-16 is great for breakless, crossing town from spot to spot, manuals and bunnyhops... i love it! i didn't tried it with breaks yet, so no thoughts on that, (but i have a feeling 22-17 will be better) also i may try 24-22 just to cheak Edited April 25, 2015 by alanczik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben_travis Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 24:22 will be awful. I am definitely sure of that. Not sure why there would be a difference with or without brakes. I'd stick with 22:16 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanczik Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 Not sure why there would be a difference with or without brakes. I'd stick with 22:16 so got my brakes on, and 22-16 is a bit hard gear for static move (like gaps and drops), also when pedalup i need to start the pedal mach back from the object (to complete the rotation of the cranks) which feel weird.. so 22:17 is on the way and hope will be the best of both worlds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
