How do you find the gearing?  I'm running 39/16 on mine and it feels really spinney. I have that gearing on my other two crusiers and it feels fine, but I feel I need a higher gearing on the skyway. I am thinking about going up tp 42/16

Thanks Hooga. I am not sure you'd get a 42 on it - already very close to the frame as it is!

I went for a 38/16 ratio as on 24" wheels that gives a gearing of 57 which is about the same as I used to run when I raced back on the day on 20" wheels (I used 46/16 ratio then which is about a 56 gearing). From what I have tried so far it feels pretty good, but time will tell. Gonna get used to it first

Here's a link to a gearing chart which I found useful

42/16 on a cruiser = 63" gearing  :shocked:  good luck getting out of the gate  :LolLolLolLol:

Not bad for cruising though :daumenhoch:
