Split the difference and call it 32 / 12 until you check hey Smile
Thats what the interweb is good for bud.....typing something and then have everyone tell you you're wrong.....
I asked my mate (the former pro racer) if he'd ride 36 / 9 and he said why bother. Said he could do it but no point.

The above statement is one of the truest I've read in a while. Made me laugh pretty good.

Plz need your info...


yeah so gatoriswhite's info didn't really help

sooooo

i used to run a stock mtn cassette with a 38t chainguide up front...i didn't ahve any issues once i got an e13, and from there until my derailleur got sucked into the wheel

now i run a 38:18, with hori dropouts and no tensioner

i'm thinking about switching to a harder gear. i ride a roughly 33 pound p2, on trails, street, and jumps, but a lot of just getting around town

Im thinking of running 32:24 for dj, i want to cover quite a bit of ground and a few pedals, how does this sound?

Okay thanks.

He was just checking, cuz that would be awful. 32/15 would be normal.

I have 175 mm cranks and i prefer pushing harder but not too hard, i want it too feel like a bmx. How about 24:11t? Thanks

24/11 would be way better. 44/16 on BMX = 55. 24/11 ON A 26'' wheel= 56.72. Pretty close.

Just got my 22 / 9 comes out to 63.6 gear inches. So far my favorite for 26", wish I tried it sooner. The splined sprocket also lined up with my Ti 9t driver perfectly, so stoked on this setup. The chainring barely clears the frame.

Also found this awesome site for calculating any gearing http://www.sheldonbrown.com/gears/.

how can it be that a 22t barely clears the frame!?
edit-1 22t clearance
edit-1 22t clearance

When I added the smaller 9t driver I had to use no spacers with the 22t sprocket for a perfect chainline. In the pictures that shows the tooth maybe 1/16" from the frame, and you can see just from frame flex it scraped just a hair off of the clearcoat. But those pics were after a hard park session right now, so I'm cool with it now. When I got the parts it came with a 28t ring and i had maybe 1/2" of spacers to keep it off of the frame and had my chainline all outta wack.

Wow. Good to know that on an Edit 1 you really need miiiiiicro gearing to get good chain line.
