44:18 thats pretty high. no wonder ur bikes not wheeliablable.
is it right for jumping and shit? with a 38 or 40 u might be able to wheelie.

I run a Blackspire 38 tooth chain ring with a Shimano Dura-Ace road 12-15 tooth cassette and Dura-Ace rear mech. I think this is perfect for all round riding, high enough to go up, and low enough to go fast.
4 speed DA cassette? i think 12-25 is more realistic
Thanx for that correction, 12-25 is correct, just a typo there

Before getting the 38 i was worried that it would be to small for DJ and general riding, but it is perfect. I have tried to use a 24 before and found it far to low dont know about a 36. If i was running a freeride bike and riding up hill i would run a 34-11 with a chain guide and 38t, lets face it the granny ring on most bikes is only a bail out gear. I find it the perfect spread of gears on everthing apart from DH.
