qeustion about gearing (AKA why do i have a first gear?)
Posted: 07:34 pm Sep 23 2011
hey guys,
ive finally had a chance to do some playing and practicing with the bike
on flat rather solid dirt ive noticed i can pop the front end from a near standstill or slow roll in second gear no problem
with a little speed and if i hit the sweet spot i can do the same im 3rd (though i cant keep it up like i can in 2nd)
if i try anything like this in 1st it seems like the rear end just loosens up the dirt and slips while i quickly rev out without really going anywhere
i checked the gearing on the bike and it seems to be running 13T up from and 50T in the back (at least, thats whats stamped on it)
is this stock gearing or has someone modded it ?
should i stick with it or change to different gearing (i know, hard to say without knowing my riding habits, but im so new at this, i dont have any)
what are your thoughts?
thanks guys :)
