MAX (M.A.D) Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 Well I have a 26" and I find that 18:15 is a nice ratio. Quite alot of people with 26" ride 18:15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sam singlehurst Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 Well the standared gearing is 22 to 18 as you say;but lots of people upgrade to 18 to 15 or 16.i personaly prefer 18 16 but its down to persnal preferance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ding_dong Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 Well I have a 26" and I find that 18:15 is a nice ratio. Quite alot of people with 26" ride 18:15. when i rode mod i used 18.12 like most do. When i man'ed up and went to stock i ran 18:16 for a while but prefared 18:15 by far.Now i run 18:14 on my 24" and its perfect, can get enough speed for "streety" kinda stuff, but still easy enough for "propper" trials moves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Motivator Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 Best ratio is around 1.2:1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iridebikes Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 what would be the best ratio for a mod, for someone whos starting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1337 Trials Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 Soon I should be getting some cranks with an 18t sprocket on the front so its going to be hard for me to get a 15t freewheel or freehub/wheel. Also freehubs cost so much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pogo Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 22:18 with 165 burns, very deceiving compared to 175 cranks, so much harder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
