Correct gearing for 24" Cruiser

(1/2) > >>

sion:

What is the correct gearing (i.e. number of teeth) for a 24" Cruiser?

I understand these are usually 44 (front) and 16 (rear) on a BMX, however the wheels on my cruiser are considerably larger (4" in fact!) ;)

I was wondering whether a different number of teeth was the standard for a 24"-er.

I don't need to race it or anything (just street) but don't want to be pedalling like mad. :idiot2:

Let me know what you think.

Cheers.

i had 17 on the back and 39 on the front and that felt quite good :daumenhoch:

36-16 on a 24"is quite close to 44-16 on a 20"

I ran 41-18 in 2008 then 40-17 first part of 2009 but was to hard so went 39-17 for a while before settling on 37-16 which is about half a tooth up from 39-17 i think.
