i use 22:18.. i know a lot of people use 22:19 and others like 20:17 etc. 22:20 seems too easy a gear.

just my opinion

way too easy of a gear. iff you like really low ratios, what you have now is good. going much lower might limit the moves you can do.

22/19 was a great ratio for me, I went to 20/17 later and it's great too. Stick with what you've got and do some squats or jumping.

I dont mind 22-20 my self, but you really limit your self. You can't roll up anything.

If I were you, I would stick to 22-19. Its a great inbetween everything ratio. Like tomac said, just get stronger...

I've switched to 22-19 recently & love it. Much easier doing smaller movements & like someone said for naturals.

22-19 for more natural 22-18 for more urban I believe. I run 22-18 and think that's just right.

18-15 is right between 22-18 and 22-19. I rode both 22-18 and 22-19, and I can't say I preferred either one. After warming up, I was used to the "new" gear and never thought about it again.
