Default 5.5 gearing

Just putting a 5.5 in my bx, not sure were to start with gearing. I have the standard spur (84 I think) was thinking if an 18T pinion

What do you think? what do others run?

Dave, I'm running mine on 17/87, you've seen it go, so you'll know it seems ok, even up the hill at Coastal

I run an Orion 5.5 and I have it geared 18/87 and it's pretty much perfect.
