T-Limburn Posted July 15, 2006 Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 you need to aim to get about 1.2 ish when you divide the numbersie 22:18 22 / 18 = 1.2222222so go for other similar ones depending on what size you want torun up front18:1516:14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash-Kennard Posted July 15, 2006 Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 20:18 or 16:14 is the best i have used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robonatomz Posted July 16, 2006 Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 best i ever ran for street was 18:14, changedto 18:15 recently though, better for comps i think, allthough i cant get up as high.rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhenoVenom Posted July 16, 2006 Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 18:16 And the ultimate argument: TRA also uses this ratio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoNnY__Mc Posted July 16, 2006 Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 18:17... why? because i can't find my cassette key would run 18:16 or 18:15 if i could find it... but this ratio has served me well so far, makes the bike feel really light... just my personal preference, my mate runs 22:18 i think and its way to hard...

Clawz114 Posted July 16, 2006 Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 22:20Soon to be 22:19 if i can find a 19t cog anywhere. I might give 22:18 a go soon as i have one laying around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
