right now i'm running 48:16 and can't get the thing to rise.
I heard lower ratio=easier wheelies

what size cog do you wheelie riders generally use?

you're around 80inches, thats a lil high.

for wheelies, im assuming people have their gear inches below 70. but dont ask me i have never done one!

technique is more important - lean back, torque it up, 12-6 combo. push your rear wheel forward.

i've been practicing and am no where near padawan status yet
