What do you think the best gearing for hill climbing. I climb sand mountain in high 3rd and sometimes 4th . What are you guys running for gearing? What do you think the best gearing would be to go up faster for know i'm running stock 13 39 gearing. I want to beable to pull a higher gear to go faster. What do you think????

 

Try dropping down to a 12 front, I put one on mine and loved it for climbing and trails. Right now I have some 13/36 gears on order. plus I'm gonna get a 12/40 setup too for when I go riding in the tight woods and when I gotta run big snow tires in the winter.

 

I went to a 12 tooth counter shaft gear and liked the power response, but the way it wore the chain out faster really sucked.
Try a larger rear sprocket, like a 42 tooth. That would be equal to going down to a 12 in the front. 1 front=3 rear generally.
This should let you pull the same hills a gear higher and at higher speed. You will lose some on the top-end speed but so what? How often are you riding there?

 

I go there about every 3 weeks in the spring and in the fall. I try to stay away from the dunes in the summer because it is to hot. I would change the gearing for what type of ridding i would do. I think that i'm going to go with the 42 rear. I don't want to wear my chain to much. Thanks. Where would i order a 42 rear though i'm having a tough time finding bigger rear sprokets. What kind like jt, renthal, sunstar,etc.

 

Any place that sells parts should be able to order you one. I'd stick with a steel Sunstar; cost should be in the $30 range and steel lasts much longer than aluminum for less money.
