Cruiser gearing

<< < (2/2)

Dark Diggler:
For racing, most people use these;
39/17 (pretty much dead on the same as 44/16 feels on a 20")
41/18 (a little easier than 39/17, a bit faster out the gate for racing)
34/15 (bit easier still)
38/17 (spinny!)

All depends what you'll be doing and how you want it to look really, I ran 30/13 on my first cruiser and it looked nice and clean (that equates to slightly harder than 44/16 on a 20".)
If was just cruising around and messing around on Jumps though I would probably do what Hooga has done and make it harder gearing :daumenhoch:

Dex Dexter:
Messed about with a few and eventually rested on 39 / 17.

Started more spinney but feels better on this one.

THIRSTYKIRSTY:
42/18 with 180 cranks

= bigger gearing means more torque which equates to faster gating and more pull out of corners

well thats wat some engineerin bloke told me anyways

neil:
I've always ran with 39/17 on cruisers as said before its virtually the same as 44/16 on a 20 :daumenhoch:
