ha, not a stupid question. i had a basic idea of which ratios i could use that fulfilled the folloing criteria:
i had a 44t on there to start with but you'd have to run a 19t cog and a 23t freewheel which is basically a dishplate. it's massive. do not want.
laner argued fairly convincingly for marginally better power transfer with a larger chainring when i joked about the marginal gains of running a smaller chainset and cog, but basically the biggest factor was that i just wanted a smaller one - i preferred the aesthetic. i don't have many standards when it comes to bikes but when i want something i'll do it.
@amey it was literally all i had in the house! i'm not abashed, they do the job
@andyp i'll keep it in mind (YAL and i could be pompino princesses together)! still ultra bruised from incredibly cross and then offroading all sunday
