well i was climbing a hill and half way up i phisically couldnt turn the pedels anymore. wasnt sure if it was due to a sprocket size on my bike or mabe my cardio just isnt up 2 scratch yet for steep hills??
hard question to answer i guess.

You are new. So most likely you haven't been properly conditioned yet. Keep practicing and revisit the subject in 6 months time.

PS. Learn to spin when you go up a hill.

im new at riding and having trouble climbing hills.
is there a standard size sprocket set i should use, how do i check if i have this??
are there better ones for climbing??
i have no idea about sprockets so as much info as possible would go a long way,
thanks guys.

What gearing do you have?
What is the size of your front chainrings and rear cogs?
Have a read of http://sheldonbrown.com/gearing/index.html which will help explain some of the theory.
As sogood said, the trick to getting up hills is to spin those legs.

Work the engine. You could get something like a 27 tooth top end cassette if you wanted to.
