(1/3) > >>

motomagII:
right how does this work i have got 44t front on 24 inch cruiser what size freewheel should i use to get to 44/16 is it the same or does wheel size change this please

TwoBobRob:
I believe you'd need a 19t....

Most people drop the chainwheel size down a couple too, so something like 39/17 or summat like that.

kdw712:
you can fiddle with the numbers here

the wheel size will affect the gearing  :daumenhoch:

Gary72:
I'm running 41-18 on my race bike at the moment.

Jon The Bassist:
Yep, 41-18 is almost the same as 44-16 on a "20 and was fairly standard BiTD for adult cruisers.  I had a Falcon cruiser for a couple of weeks and I'm pretty sure that was the gearing on it.
