Tom_ Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 I ride my base ta26 single speed and untill this morning I ran it 17-22 but decided I was having problems geting the power to the wheel when I was hopping up things (I couldnt hop back off the other side as it was hard to get the power through having just used all my energy getting up) So I decided to change to a more spinny gearing and chose 19-22. I was just wondering what everyone else is running.Cheers Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philking Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 Basically if you divide the chain ring size by the rear sprocket size then you should have a number of around 1.2 - 1.2 is generally the accepted ration for trials.I run 22 : 18 so if i divide 22 by 18 i get 1.2222222Some people prefer slightly harder gears, some slightly easier, but most people run aroung 1.2P.S. This is in reference to 26" bikes, i can;'t say i know mod gear ratios. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
