To have a trialsin gearing get an RD and a roadie cog with a 27T or a 28T for a 32T crank, or a 32T,22T crank with a FD on an 18T rear. Shifting chains of course. 3. Start learning go to pinoytrials.the-talk.net for some info etc.

sir ewik, question lng...anu b mgndng gear combinations for urban? thnx! Zyrex if you're doing both street & dirt jumps, i suggest a heavy gearing. i can't name a specific gearing, it's all in the rider's preference. Remember: it's always the rider's preference. What works great for you will do. ;D I'll be there in Subic soon. very soon

Rollbacks you must practice on an incline...do you want to cheat? Remove your cranks if you can first and practice hehe

Currently using a Vision DJ4X frame with all Deore drivetrain and is thinking of changing my crank to double chain 36-24.. Would this be a right move? And I'm currently having trouble popping wheelies.. How high should my seat post be? and is there a specific gear to better perform that? Thank you in advance.. BTW: I also use my bike as my daily commuter that's why I'm concerned with the seat post height..
