15/39?

how much bottom end do u lose i ride sand and trails? Or do u not lose any?

To start with what mods do you have? By sand are you talking riding the dunes with paddles? Either way unless you are pretty well built I would say that's too high. I run 15-41's. Works well for me. I run mostly fire road type stuff, but a little of everything. I've got toomey pipes, filter, timing advance, and noss head. If I went to the dunes, or frequently rode tight trails I'd gear mine down lower. Hope that helps

on the trails third should pull like a raped ape, but in the sand 5th will peter out, there like apples and oranges, unless youve got a buttload of horsepower that gearing wont let you hit high gears in sand, but if you can wind fourth, your haulling pretty good ass in the dunes, a thirteen would be shitty on the trails, but if you got decent mods you can pull sixth in the sand with a 13, i just take shorter front sprockets to the dunes cause i run mostly desert and MX, a 15 for me at dumont works great, but is to short for the trails, i dont think there is one gearing that would favor both sand and trails................

thats exactly what i was thinking i wish there was a good gearing for both sand and dunes

You mean trail and dunes?

 

Jeff at Fast told me to run 14/41 (Stock) for the dunes...and I'm building a 4 mil cub...

i like my 17 for trails but my shee has great lowend so i can roll second out at 5mph and start pulling hard, maybe pull third for less tight trails, but then out here in the desert that trail opens up into an 80 mph straight for 2 miles, then maybe raps some hills kinda like pikes peak, where there fairly smooth whinding straights and big long 60mph corners, i agree with jeff a good middle of the road gearing for a built bike in the dunes would be stock, the whole idea of that good overrev is that the gears are tall enough to stretch, ive noticed to short of gears my bike will kinda hang and stop accelerateing, but geared tall it stretches till i run outta balls and have to back off the throttle.......

anybody try to run a 14/44 set up with a cub setup for sand? Also How big of paddles and how many paddles are you running?
