as stated a 33 13 would be about right but the 13t freewheels aret all that reliable from what im aware unless it has a flip flop hub(threads on both sides of the hub) then the freewheel is abit better.

Ran an Odyssey 13T for 2 years with no problems,only changed because I got a cassette hub.Check what rear hub you have,seen plenty of clueless peeps with a 16t rear and 25t front!

i stand corrected re freewheel just going by what iv been told,we have loads of locals running that kind of ratio tis quite amusing to watch tho
