Tiny chainring is tiny, reduced a bit of weight actually being smaller and less link in the chain (-4).
So far it's perfect, I lose the top gear but having a low first gear is brilliant, actually great in traffic as it felt so much more natural starting off and going through congestion.
Starting off on 1st and 2nd then drop into a cruising 3rd gears, the only time I missed it is descending a big fuck-off hill in the depth of Surrey.
