February 5, 201115 yr Hi I am new to trials but I am going to trial a TY175, it has standard gearing [13-51] is this a good setup or should I change it?
February 5, 201115 yr Ride it for a time the way it is. Once you have gained some skill you may or may not want to change the gearing. Unless you are quite tall or heavy you will probably find the bike to work well. The stock TY175 is one of the most ridden bikes in Vintage Trials. Welcome aboard, enjoy.....
February 6, 201115 yr Hi mate, My 175 has 12/51 gearing it makes 2nd and 3rd usable when seeking out grip in the mud. It was like it when I bought it so I cannot give you a comparison sorry. It is fairly straight forward to change the gearbox sprocket, but I would give it a go first as it is. Good Luck.

Thanks for that I was considering lowering the gearing slightly so good to know thats a ridable option.
