ManxTrialSpaz Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 How do you run 19-18???!!!!! that's almost 1 to 1. It's a ratio of 1.05555555! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ra964 Posted July 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 don`t know, it seams to me that it`s 100% ok , I can go bigger than with larger ratios, I just use my body alot:D, and i guess that when i go for 18 - 15 (try-all fw or eno) after i get used to it it will be alot easyer:D, and yeah i now it`s obvious, but i can go with the smallest runup distance you know:)), it`s fun when you can pedal up where other riders sidehop or pedal kick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ra964 Posted July 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 think how nice it would be when you are good enough to change the ratio to 18-15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
