woods gearing
deicide76:
What's a good gearing combo to allow this bike to run abit slower in tight more technical trails.I would like to be as low as I can go , I don't need the bike to do 80mph.
Foxx4Beaver:
I've been running 14/48...it works really good for where,and what I consider pretty tight New England trails,with alot of water and log crossings.Generally I'm using 2nd and 3rd gear,with the occasional 1st gear foot-peg scraping rutted out up-hill battle.
I've been wanting to try something a little lower...49-50...eventually.

You would be happier with a 50 out back, I was

14/51. Very tight woods, bar banging tight in Southern NJ.

Hi guys! First post here...I kno :oops:w I found out the hard way that a 14 up front is as low as you can go with a 520 oring on a 92 500. Gotta go up in the rear. I ride in the woods so I don't need to go 40 in 1st. Where would I be with say a 14/54 combo?
