right now i have 32 18 but do not use this combo it sucks. I'm going 34,36-16 as soon as i get the chainring and gear
34-16
35-16 here, weird but it allows me to no to use a chain tensioner in vertical drops
38-19 a perfect 2-1 ratio. which is exactly what you need for everything!
I am the different one here.. I personally use a 28-12, RNC Ti front sproket, Axiom dishless SS rear hub.
But I am also on 24s.

36-14 for dirt jumps on 26" wheels... for urban I drop in the 16 in the back...
I use a 30-13, seems perfect for everything i ride.
i had 36-16 on my p-2, made my legs stronger, and you could ride faster.
my friend rides alot of park on his spot DJ, and he uses a 32-17. i ride everything on my soul cycles hardline, and i run a 36-18
36-16 is what i've got now. works well. it is a little hard for some stuff though.
Most people I know run somewhere in the range of 2-1 for general dirt/street/park. I would recomend running the smallest front ring possible to give you the most clearance when doing tricks. This of course doesnt hold true if you are running a bashguard, then just run something smaller than the bashguard in front, and something near 2-1 in the rear.
37-16 seems absolutely perfect for me. I ride DJ.
I find it really easy compared to riding my 50lb DH bike, lol.

36:16 dj, street...I like it and been running it a long time
i just put a 36t ring up front with the 18 in the back it seems perfect so far
i want a singlespeed
