Banchetta Posted April 11, 2004 Report Share Posted April 11, 2004 the rim size has nothin to do w/ gearing. Just the outside diameter of the tire...The stock tires are either 20 or 21's and your going to a 20" flat tire which is smaller since its flat. The stock tires will also get skinny and taller w/ higher speeds. You will lose top end w/ flat tires w/ almost = gearing at lower speeds because of this ballooning affect of the stock tires...I'd gear it up some more if you like the 15/41 w/ stock tires....You may want to go w/ a 16/42 or 15/39. They are about the same gear ratio, it just depends on ground clearence or if you want the larger front sprocket..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
