For best results, keep it close to 30 to match the other one. Depending on
the type of riding you will do, you can also gear it up some. But if you
plan to do tricks, juggle while idling, etc, don’t gear it up too much. I
think 26 or 28 teeth would be nice. Avoid 30 if you can, because then
you’ll always wear your tire out on one spot, just like a regular uni.
With a one or more tooth difference, you’ll get even tire wear.
