Hi there,im a new member but have been looking through the forum for ages and ages,i want to know what rear sprocket to run with a 18 at the front,it is a fixed cog,i have heard 18:15 is a good set up,but im not sure,thanks for your help,shane.

up to you really, comp, or street rider.

if your purely comp and natty, going as far as 18:18 is good, makes everything light, but no power for gaps.

if your pure street, i mean manuals, rolling pedal gaps,not so much into taps etc, then you could go for 18-14/13 or similar.

generally most people who ride a mixture of stuff, go for 18:16 or 18:15, generally is down to general preference, remember riding in worcester a couple of years back on my monty, with 22-14 gearing, seemed fine, cos i had powerhouse legs at the time, now find im more suited to 18:15, or 18:16. doesnt seem to make a whole load of difference to me, but tis personal preference.

hi,

i ride with a 18 tooth freewheel at the front and a 12 tooth fixed spocket at the back but with its the other way round. if i wa you i would put an 18 tooth freewheel at the back its the best gear ration i have ever riden and it feels ace.

18-15 is good for a all around ride, and 18-13 is good for steet stuff.

I have tried both over a time now.
