Help with sprocket sizes

<< < (2/3) > >>

Timbowe:
46/14 for me. I have no trouble at all on serious hill country at all, specially with the magura hyd clutch set up. I dread to think what a 50 tooth rear is like! Maybe you guys with huge rears [sprockets] should try the Gnarly/Vforce/spacer combination. Heaps of low end to get yourself of the mark with all the speed for those high end bomber runs. YESSSSSS. Tims $o.02 :twisted:

Timbowe:
The easiest way to go is the front 13/14 combo. Fast to change and good range. What the old story? 1 on the front =3 on the back [teeth].

I have study this chart before. And fully understand ratios. I just want everybodies input on what they are running for woods.  I guess it is just somthing I will need to just play with. I think I am going to try the 49 rear first and buy a 13 front for the hell of it.

Kaveman42:
What are good gears for a begginer? I need to chain both gears soon and the chain. I mostly do trail riding.

Arigato:
14/49 here.  Works great in the sand/hill climbs.
