Thanks for that! It says if i run a 15 in front a 30 in rear with 22in tries I will top out at 95>!>! does that seem right?

[billyboy93]

yea but it would take a longggg time 2 get there lol.

[motox92]

How will bottom end be? loose power at all

[billyboy93]

if ur talking about the gearing 4 the 95 mph im thinking u would have no low end but idkk.

[motox92]

no where to go 60 around here..let alone 95..just want to know its fast

[billyboy93]

haha i always wide open

[motox92]

When ever I can I do,,,in the trails i dont think your going to go more than 40 tops unless its a loooong open area

You would lose like all your power if you did that

[motox92]

What sizes should I run??

U will have no low end power what so ever.

What size rear tires are you running now and what type of riding do you ride, terrain, style etc....

let me get this straight... with a 13-39 on 20's.. I would have more top and less low than if I downsized to 18's?

I have 22 in tires in rear, im almost always in trails never go to a track...sometimes mud mainly dirt.

[hypersnyper6947]

What kinda of trails, long and straight, tight and with lots of turns, ???

With your current gears do you have to constantly switch between gears or can you put it in any one gear and that works for you through all the trails.

example: im running 14/36 and i constantly have to switch between 2nd and 3rd so im going to drop the front sprocket 1 tooth (which is like adding 3 to the rear) so that i can stay in 3rd.

According to the calculator.. If I run 13-36 with 18's.. it'll be equivalent to my 13-39 gearing on 20's.

yup. It should work. The smaller the front and the larger the rear the more low end you have but the slower it goes. If you do the opposite like a 16,36 it will be really fast but no guts to get there. with a 14, 39 it takes off but doesn't go very fast. 95 WOULD BESICK ON A 400!!!! :devil: too bad they don't make a 30 i don't think. :( all well, steve
