I am putting together my first single speed dj/urban bike. It is an Identiti Dr. Jeykll. 26" wheels I was wonder what is a good street and dj trails gearing I have a 12t and 13t rear cogs and choice of 26t, 28t, 30, and 33t front rings on Diety 170mm cranks.
also was wondering what fork would work best. 09 Argyle 409 or 318, 08 Argyle 409 or 08 Pike 426 with coil, u-turn down to 95mm and heavy spring installed.
thanks in advance.

i ran a 26/12 gearing and liked it alot. if i get a new sprocket i would get a 27t though. 28/12 is probably a little high. if u can afford the 409, id say go for it but the 318 is dope too.

409 or Pike and 26-12

i have it at 28/13 now but it is not totally finished so I do not know how it will be i was thinking it maybe too easy to pedal. so I was thinking 28/12 but the guys at Black market suggested 28/13 or they run 26/12. I have a gussett double six spacer set so it has pleanty of clearance for a wide base 12t cog.
Now i want to be able to sprint but when i ride urban i dont want to die spinning a super high cadence to get any where.
I have the pike already but was thinking an Argyle would be better a couple of my friends have the 302 and riding their bikes it feels much nicer then my pike even though i have the firm spring. I can get a good deal on the 318 and the 08 409 but how are the air shocks? Didnt they have problem with the air fork when it came out in 07? I ride mostly coil except for a marz corsair wc on my ss xc bike.
