Trick Gearing?
Anyone know a rear cog that would make my front 48 tooth east to trick with? so i could wheelie easier? i already run a 18 on the rear cog but it isnt enough. anyone know what gearing the macaframa guys use?

Trick gearings are miniscule... 48/21 does not even come close. Also I heard it helps to be super buff to wheelie easier and bar spinz for dayz.
Macaframa guys run 51/14. Which tells me that you have to HTFU.

Read what Sheldon Brown has to say about gear ratios and gear inches. If I were you I'd swap out the chainring for something much smaller, 42 or 44 tops. Bigger cog, too; 19 or 21. (44-21 would be great of you plan to skid a lot; research "skid patches").

all of the guys in the movie macaframa are running pretty high gear ratios. a "trick" ratio will be a LOT lower
