22:10 for me as well. kind of thinking about going to a 25 sprocket. it seems easy but it does get the job done. I think it is cause i ride 46:16 on my fixed.

Start out with a 2:1 ratio. 17 on the back for you. Go up or down from there. Should work fine though. If you pedal long distances to get places your needs may be different. This link is helpful. http://www.rotorburn.com/forums/showthread.php?t=108978

actually its just a bit harder than a half ratio so its not quite a trials ratio where both sprockets are very close in size.

25-11 or What I have now 23-9....Ive tried both on a 24" and I personally like the 23-9. It feels like a 25-9 bmx bikes ratio would
