hello...anyone out there??

I run a 9 speed road cassette on my geared bikes. I like the close gear ratios, and it saves a bit of weight if that matters to you.

32T front and a wide range rear because my 4X bike is also my trail bike. for just 4X i'ld use a road cassette.

 

[wishihadmoney]

so would road gears be fine for djin too
cause i mean when i dj i usaly stay in one gear any way?

No gears. What's the point??? You're jumping, not pedaling up inclines all day.

I have always had good luck with the Dura Ace 11-25 casstees with a 32-38 up front and more recently on my street and skatepark bikes 11-21 with a 27T up front

to be faster, I know few DS 4x racers that run SS.

run a single speed rear hub and pack 4-5 cogs on there. tight 11-22, wide hub flanges for A stong rear wheel.

Hadley, profile, and I guess WTB all have hubs that will work for this approach.

profiles is 6 speed and the best option IMO is a hope.
it has a lockring like a normal casette with 5 cogs.

+1 on the 5 speed..
