Best gear ratio for skids?

Hey I've been trying to skid on my bike recently and it's been a fail. I can do it but with a lot of effort. I dont know much about gear ratios but here are some specs -

Samox 1/8” x 42T anodised gold with black tubular
cromoly 3pc cranks and KMC
. Could you link me to the correct chain ring from evans cycles etc i should use in order for easier skidding? Thanks

Have a look in this thread: http://www.lfgss.com/thread4407.html

^^huh?

How many teeth does the rear sprocket have? (thats the one attached to the rear wheel)

I'm not sure. It's a wheel from this bike.

(sorry im a noob + i do not own that terrible bike)

Ok so that rear wheel has 16 teeth. Your Chainring has 42 teeth.

This means your GI is about 69 which is spinny as fuck.

I suggest you htfu

42-16 is practically a hamster wheel

get a front brake and give it a squeeze when you skid.

youl learn in no time.

then you will learn skidding is shite

Great advice lol. But seriously, what's the best gear? Or am i just going to get flamed.

you already have a 'good gear'

get a front brake and give it a squeeze when you skid.

youl learn in no time.

^ very very good advice.

you must have jelly legs

you already have a 'good gear'

I dont want to use a break. What's your advice now?

harden the fuck up

I dont want to use a brake.

Then you're an idiot.

Do you not even have foot retention?

lol i have foot straps..

Well we've given you all the advice and you're clearly not going to listen. Now please close this thread

Jesus, what is your legs made from? cheestring?

If you cannot slow down properly, be sensible and put a front brake on.

Then close the topic.

Practice on petrol station forecourts and slippery canal paths.

whilst smoking

Crack.

.....ed black pepper salmon

49x19 will give you v similar inches, but 38 skid patches!

Practice in traffic.

Maybe on the M4?

yea, its better if you do it on the right hand side of the road too cos the cars coming towards you make a backdraft which locks your wheel
