Is it on a 20" zed/
41-13 equates to about 50-16!!!!
41-16 would be very spinny
you need to get a 36t on the front with that 13 rear mate
 :) DINGO :)

41-15 was a national winning gearing for me BITD. I think it gives you a 'half' gearing eg. 43 1/2.

Back then 15y freewheels were like rocking horse poo though.

Today i think ACS do them. Fins a 15t and give it  a whirl!

35 to 37 13 but as already said 36 13 is the magic set up especialy if you get 177mm crank arms.

33/12 on the magic 177's (its 44/16 exactly, just on a mirco set up). :4_17_5:

I never change my gearing for any track, I'm always nackered half way round regardless, the size of the jumps makes more difference to me.

33/12 on NS 20"
