That's entirely up to the person pedaling, just because you didn't notice doesn't mean its true. I went from a 32-16 to a 33-16 on 24s and the bike felt 100x better.


To the author of this post, to get a useful answer we're going to need a lot more information than "what ratio?". I mean what size wheels are you using and what are you looking for in your pedal stroke? Do you want something that's harder to pedal, lighter?

It also depends on rim size. 2-1 doen not work with all rims. Think of running an 18/9 on a BMX, Unless you ride flatland you'd get laughed at.
