i have an 07 stp and have a 36 tooth in the front and 11-28 teeth on the back, but i want to keep the 36 tooth in the front and i want a single speed for djing/ thx for the help

18 tooth, no questions.

2:1 is just plain spot-on for dirt jumping / general mayhem riding.

Sprocket / Cog x Wheel Diameter = Close to 55.

2:1 tends to be a bit easy for DJ.

so do u think it should be like 36 in front and 16 or 17 in back?

I run 36/16, but my jumps are slightly downhill and that little bit up extra speed helps. When I was just riding street/park the 36/17 felt great.

alright thx

do you guy recomend SS for any particular reason/ my 07 stp weighs 32lb and if i take the shifting crap off how much do you think it would then weigh??

People recommend single speed cause there is less stuff to break in a crash and it's a little lighter. You might drop a pound or 2.

don't forget: far less maintenance, able to concentrate more on terrain/surroundings and less on shifting, great for getting in shape and improving your climbing, and if you're really religious about it, singlespeeding brings you back to how riding was when you were a kid, apparently.
