What gearing is on your SS mountain?

[pedal.roll]

Hey all,

Just wondering what everyone is running on their mountain bikes. What gearing and freewheel/cassette and cranks/sprocket?

I run 17-33 on my Karate Monkey. Changing it to 16-33 soon because I spin out way too much on the flats when riding around town.

My set up is stock so Fire-X cranks and !! BAN ME NOW FOR SWEARING !! Shimano freewheel(soon to be White Industries).

Trying to work out what cranks to upgrade to.....thinking White Industries Eno or maybe Profile BMX cranks.

Cheers all!

34x20 or 34x18 on my 29er. 20t for general cruising around, xc racing, etc. 18t for longer rides with more flat ground.

Thought there would have been a lot more posts here. Oh well.

On my GT Peace 9r, I've run 32:18, 32:17 and 32:16 and am currently on 38:18.

The 32:18 was fine for the dirt, but I prefer more cush in my dirt rides so stick with the Pivot 429C for that.

As I mainly use the GT for commuting, I upped the gearing to it's current 38:18 and will soon be going to 38:17.

34x18 and sometimes 36x18 4 a 29er
Superfantastic Shimano freewheel?
Well you will really like the WI when you get one.

32x17... but it's never been anywhere especially technical. Fire/Service Roads only really to date. May need something lower should I get more adventurous

and will soon be going to 38:17.

Actually it wont.

Not after cracking the frame today.

My White Industries 16t arrived last week.
Got it fitted and Ive never been happier on my Karate Monkey!
Smashing PBs on Strava every ride now.
Livin'.

32 - 16 White Industries drive train on a 26 inch wheel. Can be a little slow on the commute, especially down hill and on the flats, but great all round ratio for off road.
