i'm running 25/9 on my tonic fab, its tough to pedal though but i'm running it as a usable xc gear too :daumenhoch:

how would 25/11 sound?

with say an 9 rear or 11 rear what would make up a 1" set up front sprocket wise.
i dont want a hard work set up as im kinda lazy.

I'm running 39/16 at the mo which feel similar to 20" gearing to me.

So,  work it backwards.....   as Darksunday said about 25/11?   :)

23-9  :shocked:
25-11
28-12
30-13
36-16
39-17
41-18

all equate to something close to what 44-16 is on a 20"

Hope this helps?

 :) DINGO :)
