• You can definitely go up to 46 with a Wolftooth imho, happy to lend you mine if you want to give it a go. That gear ratio would be orrible for anything but Badlands though.

    Also, consider the length of the chain needed for that gear range

  • 42T has me removing 1 link from a 118 chain so, yeah, what do MTBers use for their silly 50+ cassettes? I guess they're running smaller front rings but still are there longer chains?

  • 32:46 fits in a 114 link chain on my 29" full sus bike.

  • 32t chainring and 50t cassette. Same chain length as 50t chainring, 32t cassette?

    Longer chainstays tho...

    Don't know. Nothing useful to add, as usual.

  • For a 1x42/11-46 I need a whole length of 118 links, and still I got the feeling it's 1 link too short
