Mmm in my personal opinion I like a little steeper gear for DJing.

too easy.. put like 26 - 12 but that's my opinion, some people like easier gearing than others and some people like harder gearing

I think the best ratio is 2-1 plus a few for example 36-16 would be great or 24-10 but thats just me. I prefer to beast it up hills than saddle up and slowly make my way up.

i reckon that 2-1 ratio is perfect but 1 tooth under or over is fine
