weston:
you can get away with 40/16 gearing but after that your talking flatland gearing... stick to 44/16.... best gearing you could ride..  :knuppel2:

sam hudson:
I agree,even if it does look (apparently) like a 'Dinner Plate' and 'Has no place in modern BMX'.
I'm stirring now cos someone wrote that and it made me mad...then i realised that there is no reason to get upset over a chainwheel  :Aresehole:  ;D  ;D  ;D  ;D

motomagII:
was just thinking it was rather large and a smaller one would not get in the way as much in park

weston:
ive never had no problem riding 44/16 gearing & nobody else has in the past 25yrs. only over the past couple of years have they started to make them smaller to shave off a few pounds...
