Bugger !!

so whats the deal with park bikes?

I have a 14T rear and have just bought a 39T front.
Do i need to go down a bit on the front?

Haven't rode it yet but only intend to have a go in the parks.

Cheers...Steve

  *No,39T is the correct gearing.Fugazi33`s list is correct.

Nice one  :daumenhoch:

it confused me cos his list said that the correct gearing for 13t rear was 13/36, but Magna told him it should be 33 for a park.
So i thought I would have to also come down for my ratio. But if you feel 39t is good then that will do for me   ;)

Cheers...Steve

HEYWOOD BMX:
 :) I also have 40t and 34t  chainrings for sale....close enough to 39/33....
