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.

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.

...............umm....well if you knew how to read you would see that what i said DOES make sense...lol......it says.....Peddling my *** off.......did you like not see that off...or did you just like forget it was there...or maybe these weird little bugs ate that part of your screen off....gezz.....but you need to learn how to read

Brian

Right, so you're getting paid for it?

DCdense 88

getting paid for what?....correcting you

Brian

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.

CMcMahon

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

KinetikBiker

hmmm


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

i just wonder.....

hypersnazz

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.

DCdense 88

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)...

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

FuzzyRyder

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

FireTeamCharlie

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).

CMcMahon

Watch The Godfather and The Godfather II.

Brian

Oh, the irony of it all...

Brian

And Goodfellas, Donnie Brasco, etc...

2. Slang. A friend; a pal.

CMcMahon

Wow. You found a dictionary. Congratulations.

FireTeamCharlie

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

yatt

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
