had a little hack on me mrd pro today,just testing it in the road etc.

just wanted to know what an ideal cruising gearing would be?
at the mo it has a 40t chainring that came with it and a 16t freewheel.
i seemed to pedal like fook and get nowhere

mind you i havent rode bmx for about 22 years! $:-\$
would it ride a bit easier with a bigger chainring,ie 44 or 46t?

i just want to cruuuuiiiiiisssse

Back in the day the most popular was the 44/16 as this got the best top speed on medium to long tracks, if you had short straights then 43/16. there is a sticky somewhere someone scanned from one of the bike mags from bitd.
