# Choose the right gear ratio. When most people start off doing wheelies they put their gears into the “easy-to-pedal” mode, which means their chain in on the smallest cog on the front sprockets, and biggest cog on the back sprockets. This is fine when first starting out, but once you get more advanced, you’ll want your chain to be on the middle cog on the front sprockets, and somewhere around the middle cog on the back sprockets. The speed for your wheelie will be about {{convert|5|-|10|mph|km/h|abbr=on}}, and having the gear ratio set to “easy mode” will make you lose your wheelie due to excessive pedaling. | # Choose the right gear ratio.
