Yea, much easier. If you imagine tooth count determining the amount of distance covered per revolution/full pedal (i.e. the lower the tooth count, the further distance per full revolution, and the higher the tooth count, the more spinny your pedalling will be therefore less distance traveled per revolution), it makes sense that a higher tooth count will be better to trackstand on, because the chain covers a higher surface area within the drivetrain the more teeth there are, making it more responsive to any force put on the pedals

What ratio are you running? Makes a huge difference with regards to trackstanding if you run a high tooth count on the back
