BMX - Pedaling my *** off....

as of right now i have a 39/16 gearing....i wanted to get a little bit more clearance for grinding and jumping...and also to get more acceleration....BUT...i don't want to be peddling for like ever.....i do mostly street riding....and also i live out in the ''country'' so i do have to get going sometimes...there are alot of hills where i am....you are all probably asking....''how does he live in the country and ride street''////welp i live near a pretty big city so ya...well anyways... i have poverty sealed hubs(flip flop hubs) what is the smallest freewheel that i can put on my bike...13?...well if 13 can...is 30/13 too small? ok...welp i am done asking questions now

your'e going to want to run a 36-13.

your'e going to want to run a 36-13.

36-13 is taller than the gearing he's running now, it's equivalent to 44-16. That means slower acceleration, not faster. That being said, 39/16 is pretty short, I'm running equivalent gearing on my flatland bike. 32-13 would keep about the same ratio you have now, a *little* bit shorter but I really wouldn't drop down too short or you're spinning and spinning and going nowhere.

"Welp" is not a word. And we don't want to know about you peddling your ass, either. Sounds like something Queensrider might do. Your bike has pedals. There's a huge difference between peddling your ass and pedalling your ass off.

LMAO ex.

Right, so you're getting paid for it?

getting paid for what?....correcting you

getting paid for what?....correcting you

You're not correcting me, you're only making yourself look stupid. Your bike has pedals, got it? Not peddles.

Look up these two words, then tell me you're correcting me:

Pedal, peddle.

I know an old paisan who peddle pedals at the corner of 1st and Market.

hmmm


i wonder what it would be like to run a 44-9 or a 25-16.....

i just wonder.....

Well, you can get on a road bike and see what 53-11 feels like. Or get on a mountain bike and see what 30-32 feels like. They're pretty much what you'd expect. :rolleyes:

that would be crazy...to have 53-11 or something on a BMX....gezz...you couldn't go anywhere...and as for the 30-32....well....i want that....you could like flip over when you go to peddle...(hahah i spelled it right this time)...

no you didn't you [personal attack removed by Moderator]

lol....i am a moron.,...i will admit...does it look like a ****ing grammer forum ..or a bike forum??? gezz take a **** on somebody else

lol woah, i could really care less, i just thought it was funny

Beerman, I googled paisan, and have not a found a definition. Only links to some Movie about a lesbian homicidal terrorist(not making this up).

Watch The Godfather and The Godfather II.

Oh, the irony of it all...

And Goodfellas, Donnie Brasco, etc...

Wow. You found a dictionary. Congratulations.

YAY! But it was far from what i thought it would be(an asain prostitute).

Hahaha... Have any of you ever read over one of these threads you invent out of thin air? It's really amusing reading about how terribly people's grammar is criticized in a biking forum...
anyway I'm currently running a 16x44 ratio and was wondering how i could reduce the size of my sprocket, maybe lowering the gearing just slightly at the same time.
Thanks a lot

When the chainring gets smaller, the cog has to get smaller as well. How much lower do you want?

haha well is there a point when the sprocket can be too small? I'm looking at getting an odyssey freecoaster and it has 10 teeth... so in order to have the same ratio as I have now what size sprocket would I have to run?
thanks a lot

You'd need a 27.5 tooth sprocket up front. I guess we'd have to make that a 27 or 28.

yeah that's what I was thinking... geuss kinnda got this algebra stuff down

thanks a lot

No worries. But it's not even close to algebra, and you need to work on your grammar too. Ride while it's light out, study when it's dark.

screw that its summer dude
rather sleep im tryin to grow tall
thanks for the answer though..

Oh, I forgot, since it's winter here. I'll cut you some slack.

unless you want to do some flatland. i've seen people running like 22-10.

i have never heard of a 22 tooth sprocket...no way...i'm gettin one
