Ladd Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 How long are your cranks ? and your mates ? because that makes gearing feel lighter (easyer) if there longer and if there short it feels hard to pedal even if there both 18:12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ladd Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 hmm 160 will feel harder, when i moved from 160 to 170 it was easyer gearing. not sure off the problem then mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben H! Posted May 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 ok cheers mate these are the crankswww.trials-uk.co.uk/product.aspx?productid=1874once i figure out what this problem is the bike will be totally better this is the only thing that lets it down. maybe it could be the freewheel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ladd Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 if its the Monty TI freewheel there pretty amazing i run one for ages and its still going fine and wit 160mm cranks monty freewheel 12t rear sprocket... it was a great gear ratio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel C Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 could it be something to do with tyre pressure because when i had a low tyre pressure on my bike it felt hard but when i pumped it up the gearing felt better.try it and see wat happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davey1991 Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 Just a suggestion, from street mtb.If your rear freewheels is slightly resisting, when you wheelie it scts slightly like a brake pushing you back down,if you know how take the freewheels apart and check the ratchet and bearings if these are dry lube them up and you'r problem will be solved.Probably not the issue but if it is it's quite a quick fix.
