wip-bikes Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 Hope Pro IIt up in this bitch. Im hearin that! Never fails and can take a beating. I ran a goldtech tandem hub before that and that was bomb proof too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 if you have 24" wheels, you can't really have a screw-on freewheel on the rear, all the reliable freewheels are 18t and you would need a massive cog on the front to make that into a usable ratio. Stick with a Hope or a King for street. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalopS Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 Is Stan still using a SL on the back and a 23t up front for brakeless? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 He is. Pro 2 or King all the way. I'd go for the Pro 2, and sort of wish I still had that instead of my King... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Gibbs Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 Pro 2 for the ultimate win then? Would 18-12 be really hard for 24"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 I used to run 18:13, then switched to 23:17 which was very similar, and now run 23:16 - long story short, it'd probably be a touch on the hard side for pure trials, but would be good for a mix of streety stuff and trialsy stuff.

Matthew62 Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 18:13 for me with a ProII in the back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Direske Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 (edited) Ever since I got back on 24" I used to run a pretty shity drivetrain. 160mm cranks with 18T FFW in combination with a 15T screw-on cog on the back. I never came around to change this, maybe because the only thing that could cause me to change this would be a Middleburn crankset that I have looked for for months now... so far without success Feels pretty good though, sucks when it comes to speed but in the end you just need to pedal way faster which I just accepted lol.

nb88 Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 Hope bulb at the moment on my 24", running 22:17 but 18:13 very soon. On my 26" I use a king, always preferred freehubs to freewheels and you can't beat middleburn cranks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Themistoklidis Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 Tensile FFW 18t up front and a 12 cog on a rear fixed hub on my inspired. I rode my friends' bike the other day (inspired,18 cog front 12cog on a rear hope freehub)and the pedaling response was pretty much the same...Plus his bike was quite heavier on the back...
