Correct gearing for 24" Cruiser
« on: January 19, 2010, 08:15 PM »

What is the correct gearing (i.e. number of teeth) for a 24" Cruiser?

I understand these are usually 44 (front) and 16 (rear) on a BMX, however the wheels on my cruiser are considerably larger (4" in fact!) ;)

I was wondering whether a different number of teeth was the standard for a 24"-er.

I don't need to race it or anything (just street) but don't want to be pedalling like mad. :idiot2:

Let me know what you think.

Cheers.

36-16 on a 24"is quite close to 44-16 on a 20"
I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,
 Straining upon the start. The game's afoot:
 Follow your spirit, and upon this charge
 Cry 'God for Harry, England, and Saint George!'

I ran 41-18 in 2008 then 40-17 first part of 2009 but was to hard so went 39-17 for a while before settling on 37-16 which is about half a tooth up from 39-17 i think.

Can you send me a PM with cost posted for the 17T freewheel.

If it's NOS no need to include pics (it's a freewheel right!!)

Cheers.

Decided to go for 39/17 after the advice above & some other research.

Cheers :)
