I've been having a look around, is there any reason these two sprockets wouldn't work?

I think I want the gears closer together and both a bit higher, more of a headwind/tailwind setup, rather than too easy for a headwind/too easy for a tailwind, that I've got at the mo'.

So with the 58t and a new chain, would the above do the trick?

Are you not running a 12t sprocket already?

TurtleRecall in reply to @edscoble

I'm on standard 2-speed gearing, so 12 and 16 I think?

But I've done around 1000 dirty winter miles so far and am looking to replace the chainring (for a 58t) and therefore new longer chain as well. From what @Evell and the poster on the last page said, it sounds likely that the sprockets will require replacing as well, so I may as well go for new everything and change the ratios a bit, right?

So do you think those sprockets will work?
