I ran 2:1 for a long time on my STP w/26" wheels. I've decided it's too light, and now run 2.27:1 (25/11) and it's sweet.

 

Some how I expected there to be more consistancy of responses. I just ordered a single speed kit (yes Coma you were right, doh!) so it looks like I'm going to be testing riding the bros bikes and counting teeth.

 

25/12 on the 26,, and will be 25/11 on the 24,, i may change it out to 26/11 or 25/10 later..

 

dang, i just read that edwin delarosa runs 22-8.

 

personally, and i see it applies for a lot of people on here, 2:1 sucks. i prefer about 2.5:1 or so or however it works out. bmxers run close to 3:1 on 20s. 2:1is good for xc, or 32:18.

 

33:16

thats my set up also 33:16

For the last 6 months I ran 26x12 on my 24" DOC. I progressed tot he point at RaysMTB that is was too low. Just switched to 28x12. It is alot better but still just a tab too low with 24" wheels. I would go 30x12 except with 28x12 it barely clips the coping on nearvert drop ins becase my DJ1 fork is lowered to 45mm travel.

It's good enough though.

How are you dropping in that it barely clips?

Rolling in with a slight bunny hop pushing the front down hard and lifting the back. Keep in mind my fork is lowered to 45mm I am riding 24's and I am dropping in at a square vert edge.

 

i just changed to 34:14. i haven't got the 14 on yet tho. so currently its 34:16, which is pretty sweet so far, but my rear axle is at the very front of my dropouts.

 

Sounds like you are heading straight off the deck. I angle in and miss the 44T sprocket on my daughters bike.
