Why not go for larger chainrings and sprockets if you're buying new anyway? It would (theoretically) be more efficient and cause less wear on the components.
Thank you. I’ve only done as low as 44/17. I just get bored at home. I’m sticking to 48/16 for a while.
Bye bye back tyre ;) Although that’s what I run (with a front brake)
