DYAKOV Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 I have MOD but 16t would be great... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikee Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 I have MOD but 16t would be great...I say 15t on the back will be the best, 16t will probably be abit too light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAX (M.A.D) Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 Well alot of people ride 18 - 15 gear ratio and it feels so nice so i would sujest that.Hope it helps, Max Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigman Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 Have a look to see what length cranks you have, if you have 175mm i would recomend running 18-15, but if you have 170mm cranks i would go for 18-16 Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoze Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 (edited) I loved 18:15 on my stocks, felt good for trials but you had something to push against Currently reppin' 22:16 on my 24, which puts hairs on your chest when it comes to "real" trials.

macy`d Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 Hello, I personally would have 16:14 to me that is spot on, not to easy not to hard. Its a nice ratio for when you are riding the rocks, because lets not forget rocks are what trials is all about. Alex Mac. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
