Zippy:
Would a 16t rear sproket and a 39t front sproket be a big dissadvantage on a park bike where speed isn't important. I'm trying to go with a smaller front sproket the cheapest way possible and it seems to be working out a lot more expensive than I hoped it would be.

zed4130:
i use 39-16 on my street bike and its ok not so good on the track though  :buck2: but good elsewere   :daumenhoch:

oberonspacefruit:
theoretically its ok. i ran 39 /16 on my rickman and it got up to speed quicker, but at top end, you would have to pedal a lot more.

theRuler:
i wouldn't go any lower than 42-16, even for riding in a skatepark

i run 20-10 on my flatland bike though!
