Title: Gearing
Post by: vaaprider on January 09, 2020, 07:47:22 AM

I searched but could not find clear information on what gearing seems to work best with 17" wheels? Looks like I can go with a 38 or 42 with my rear wheel set up so I was thinking 14 / 38.  Can someone that has played with different combo's chime in? Not looking for top end,  just a great around town ripper set up.

I see a small thread on gearing now with the same topic name , not sure why it did not show up in the search.  Anyway does 14/38 sound like it would be a good combo?

Does anyone know what the equivalent of stock gearing would be on 17" wheels?

Need to know the tire outer diamter and then its a simple linear relationship.
