I shouldn’t even be looking at huge rings with all the hills around me. I did do myself a favor and unslammed my stem and level my handlebar.

They make 20-22 tooth cogs to accommodate a decent sized chainring as long as the frame will allow it... More teeth equals less wear and tear or at least that is what logic would suggest. Regarding slamming the stem: fit is better and translates into more comfort that's all that matters at the end of the day

I strongly agree with running as big of a chain ring matched up with the corresponding rear cog to achieve the desired gear ratio to prolong the life and increase the efficiency of your drive train. It only becomes an issue with a low bottom bracket on conversions but you should be good
