RodTi Posted August 15, 2010 Share Hello all, Who can help - what would the most likely gear-ratio have been on my stock standard 'back-pedal' Raleigh BMW have been, that I rode as a laaitie? How close was that to the most common option amongst today's mtb singlespeed brigade? Trying to get my head around a few things Fanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
javadude Posted August 15, 2010 Share probably 44/16 on 20inch wheels = 55inch gear. Equivalent to 32/15 MTB gearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodTi Posted August 15, 2010 Share probably 44/16 on 20inch wheels = 55inch gear. Equivalent to 32/15 MTB gearing. Thanks Velo - what would a 'typical' "middle-of-the-road" / not too strenuous ratio be on a mtb? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
javadude Posted August 15, 2010 Share I'm riding a 32 / 18, which is easy enough for me except on steep hills. Tried 32 / 16 but that was a bit too hard on the legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmxisawesome Posted October 17, 2010 Share 32- 13 is a good ratio for bmx, or a 25-9....If u have the cash to pay for all the new stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
