[collossus 0]

i've just decided to get in to trials and i have nearly completed building my bike, but just realised i have no idea what gearing i need to fit, i have built a 26" stock bike , and have a crank with a 18 tooth front sprocket, what would i need to fit to the rear ??? thanks chris

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.

Well alot of people ride 18 - 15 gear ratio and it feels so nice so i would sujest that.

Hope it helps,

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

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.

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.

For Stock i'd definately recommend 18:15.
